Pseudoscorpiones Arachnida Arthropoda Animalia

Order of false scorpions with about 2000 species. They are very small, live in such places as under stones, in soil or under bark. Although anatomically distinct, superficially they resemble scorpions, having formidable pedipalps with which they attack their prey. They then immobilise it, before ripping it up with their dagger-like chelicerae and sucking out the fluids. They do not have a sting.
