廬 Hi! Im a little book scorpion… but please dont hurt me. Even though I look like a mini scorpion, Im actually a pseudoscorpion, a harmless arachnid thats VERY beneficial to your home.
Did you know you should let me live in peace? I feed on pests like:
Mites
Booklice
淋 Clothes moth larvae
荒 Carpet beetle larvae
Im your natural ally against those pesky household pests!
Fun fact: Books used to be bound with animal glue . Booklice would eat it and ruin the pages… and thats where I come in! Thats why they call me the “book scorpion.”
And no, Im not a real scorpion! I dont have a stinger or venom. I only look like one because of my pincers, but Im completely harmless to humans.
So the next time you see one like me, dont squash it… protect it! Im small, but I do a great job!
