Hi, I'm a pseudoscorpion, & I'm probably sitting on your bookshelf as we speak. Don't worry. I don't sting. Or pinch. & I'm much smaller than a @tictac. But I do have some itty bitty venoms, which I use to rid your home of carpet beetles, booklice, & mites So, you're welcome.

I’ve run polls on here before, and they are always interesting. But this is the first time I’ve been completely gobsmacked by the results! And it’s a good reminder that we all perceive/interact with nature in very different ways. I’m going to rethink my approach to this chapter!
Are great white sharks the animal you are most afraid of, rationally or irrationally? (If no, please comment with the animal you fear most. Again, rationally or irrationally. This is just for fun!)
