This is a pseudoscorpion. They are actually really neatlittle bugs. They eat mites and other tiny incects. They are not harmful to humans or pets and usually go unnoticed in homes or out of doors due to their size, though there are over 400 kinds of genera. They are members of the arachnid family and are common throughout the world.

I couldn't agree with you more - they are cool.
