Pseudoscorpion

Pseudoscorpion
Morse Wildlife Preserve, Graham, Pierce County, Washington, USA
October 11, 2009
I was very surprised to see this pseudoscorpion 3.5 feet off the ground on some tall Pearly Everlasting. The last pseudoscorpion I found was under bark on a log.

It's the right general shape for family Cheilferidae, but can't be sure without being able to tell if both fingers of the palp chela have a venom fang at the tip. No hope of species ID. ~ Rod Crawford.
