Those tiny ones really look like scorpions
Is that a pic of a piece of your collection? Very clever (as well known) even if it is not my cup of tea and not yours anymore it seems

Re: Name the Insect or Spider
Interesting biology of this specific pseuscorpion.
Pseudoscorpions are however a huge order of arachnids with many families and very different in their biology. Some are venomous and paralize prey injecting venom from their palps, others don't. Phoresy is recorded for a few species, apparently mainly for the larval stages to disperse.
Mating takes place without copulation, the male deposits sperm and the females will pick it up.
Good one, ExFmem

Yes, it's a pic of one of the cases. Anyone up for the endearing spiders and cockroaches?
