Pseudoscorpion cleaning its pincers by running them through its mouthparts. This species (Dactylochelifer latreillii) is associated with marram grass.

Damp and humid conditions at the moment, perfect for finding pseudoscorpions! So if you fancy a challenge, head outside and see if you can find some. If you fancy an even bigger challenge try photographing one - really tricky subjects! BAS Pseudoscorpion UK

Species 7,047: Roncus lubricus, a pseudoscorpion from a pitfall trap in scrubby brownfield habitat. Not a group I know well, so any 2nd opinions very welcome.

A few insects from the New Forest today: Brachyopa pilosa (I think) with pseudoscorpion passenger (the fly kept trying to shake it off), Chalacosyrphus nemorum, Common Malachite Beetle & Micropteryx aruncella.

7th of #Arachtober Pseudoscorpions are tiny arachnids generally found amongst leaf litter. Neobisium carcinoides is one of three species I've seen to date. Who else has seen one of these elusive predators?

Went to check this 1500s Dovecote at Newton, Northants. Classic habitat for Cheiridium museorum being dry and full of dust. The floor is deep with the remains of several hundred years of pigeon and corvid nests so I hopped for something like D. panzeri or A. powelli but no dice!
