Pincer buddy
Category: Obsessions, Photos

Pincer buddy My new friend. We met about twenty or so minutes ago, introduced by my sister. More like:

“ASMA COME LOOK AT THIS CREATURE!!!”

… when she first saw him upside down, from her position on the bed.

I made him climb onto a white paper so I can take photos. He’s such adorable cutesy little thing; a bit of a crab, a bit of a scorpion in him. Fast too.
 
He’s kind of shy, and probably a bit paranoid. If you came too close, he would draw up his pincers and gear up into attack mode. He never took the offensive though, he knows his friends. *pats him*

I’m calling him my pincer buddy, my sister though… insists on naming him “Scorpy”, or “Scorpie”… whatever.

This is why I find him so adorable:

We nearly killed him o_o. He went under the chair leg (or so I thought) and we tried to move the chair away carefully but failed (my sister was sitting on it). I thought he was squished for sure. Surprisingly, he wasn’t even there when we checked, but far away.

Eventually, I had to let him go home to his family and kids; my sister kept guilt-tripping me that I was torturing him with the white paper…

Edit: A small collage using the other photos I took of him.

… That would freak me out to no end. I would scream and have my mother kill it.

BTW, I’m totally in love with your scrapbook section. I wish I could sit down and put together a proper scrapbook. I have two albums filled with photos and other such junk like movie tickets and envelopes but none have such personality as your work.

Wow, so tiny and.. scary. I’ll probably scream and kill him right away. o_o Sorry, but I just hate insects. x|

o_o Its so… small… I didn’t even realize until the third picture. xD I’d probably have freaked out if I saw one.

But it was so tiny! If it were any bigger, I probably would’ve have, although I think I still would’ve taken a photo or two for keepsake.

I really don’t know if it was a baby, or not… if it’s a pseudoscorpion then maybe? Apparently don’t grow past 1/3 of an inch.

I thrive on randomness.

You are so ridiculously random… most people would run away from such a thing… I wonder if I would have done that. baby or was that the normal size of that bug?

I Googled for “tiny insect with pincers” and found this: http://whatsthatbug.com/pseudoscorpion.html So I emailed him the photos. :D
