I was just sitting in the basement watching t.v. when I see one of these little guys walking across the wall next to me. I remembered seeing It in a field guide before, but in 34 years this is the first time I've seen one.

You were a step ahead of me. I didn't even know such a creature existed until this one showed up. At first I thought it was a spider with really long front legs. It was fascinating to watch it react to stuff in it's surroundings.

ahhhhhh too cute, i did a research and it says that this is a good insect, which eats bad insects in your house...and they are harmless to humans

One of these watched me shower this morning xD i had looked it up before and knew it was harmless so i just left it alone. I think they like moisture?

I found one in my bathroom wall years ago and have been a fan ever since. Every so often I see it make a reappearance. They are definitely interesting to watch.

I found one of these on the wall earlier today, they're pretty nifty looking.

One of the few "bugs" that doesn't really bother me. I had learned what they are from a biology class, so when I'd found one in my bedroom (dead, sadly - stuck to a piece of tape) it didn't bother me. I found another one today while cleaning out old boxes (which were filled with molted carpet beetle larvae skin - which explain why it was there). this one was alive, and I must say, I do quite like them. I HATE carpet beetles, so the fact that it eats them makes me happy.

I found one several month ago. Initially I guessed it to be a larval scorpion, but I was fascinated to find out what it really was.

Such a great video! I just found one in my house last night and my initial fears were quickly calmed by a quick search on the internet for "tiny arachnid with giant claws".
