Big Bend National Park, Brewster County, Texas, USA
April 4, 2007
Size: 2 to 3 mm
Can anyone identify to species or even genus these pseudoscorpions? Found them under a rock in the Chihuahuan Desert of Big Bend. They were amazingly fast and retreated backwards whenever my finger got within an inch of them.

Maybe, eventually.
Apparently there is a key to the genera of North American pseudoscorpions in a book on soil arthropods....Eventually I think we can at least get most of the images to family level.
