Pseudoscorpion (Pseudoscorpiones)

I was surprised to find this tiny (less than 3mm) Pseudoscorpion in the house today. But then I remembered that they are often found in homes, although their tiny size makes them almost impossible to see. I only noticed it because I was about to sweep up some dust and noticed a slight movement. I was very happy to see this interesting critter. Although called Pseudoscorpions, they are NOT scorpions, they are NOT toxic, and if they do bite (exceptionally rare), you'd never feel it anyway because of their small size.
