Pseudoscorpions are tiny arachnids that look a bit like scorpions, but don’t have a stinger. They’re harmless and typically eat tiny insects and other invertebrates like mites. These photos were taken on Statia, at their volcanic peak, the Quill. Are there pseudoscorpions on St. Martin? Almost surely, although they are easily overlooked. The adults seen here are approximately 1/2 cm in size, and the young ones are much smaller. In one of the photos you can see a cluster of eggs on the underside of the adult.
