#pseudoscorpions — Public Fediverse posts

Yesterday I found a pseudoscorpion under a wood chip in the garden! It's been ages since I spotted one.

I pointed out its little scorpion claws to the building manager who said "Yes, I see," even though, judging by the text size she has set on the office computer, she probably could not, in fact, see. I strongly doubt she is interested at all. Good. That'll teach her to try making small talk with me.

#Pseudoscorpions are #interesting and #biologically diverse #arachnids that are often overlooked due to their #smallsize. Many species are #grounddwellers or live in deadwood. The largest #taxon is the #Chernetidae, with approximately 726 extant #species. L. Laibe et al. (2025) described a new species of its genus #Attaleachernes from the eastern #Amazon region and also characterized the #habitat.
