House pseudoscorpion - Chelifer cancroides Amazing tiny guy, I hardly noticed it. The body is not bigger than 2.5 mm. I don't know how I managed to get it in focus while he was trying to hide. Found under the bark of an old rotting trunk. Used flash and homemade diffuser.

  1. First frontal closeup of a pseudoscorpion, nice! Posted 2 years ago
    1. That was shooting in the dark, Ferdy! Thanks to the flash, which has a modelling light, and the camera's ability to focus in relatively dark conditions this photo came to light. Posted 2 years ago
