Information is SO vague on these critters! Even Audubon doesn't say much. Do these things sting? Bite? Pinch? I have a 12 week-old infant and found one on her bouncy seat! Two days later I found one hiding behind the plug-box on my hair dryer when I went to unplug it. Talk about freaking out! I thought we had picked up bed bugs somewhere or something!!!Any info appreciated.

pseudoscorpions
no length given on this picture, however they are so small typically that it would be hard to imagine them being able to do any damage...I've collected them for years and they are tough to id...

I found some of these on a beach in CA
i found three of them on a dead dried up bat star in the high tide marking. i accidently took them home and i live right near san fransisco. i dont want to keep them but i also dont want to send them to their deaths if i put them in my backyard. Will they survive? Does anyone want them?

As for common people it would be better if they get this information.

We had a leaf litter practicle today and generally give a prize for the person who finds one.

Hope this helps.
