Yeesh looks like a tick scorpo hybrid
Little bit of bedbug in there, too.
you cant convince me that just a tick with glued on pincers
I believe they are (at least one of) the only animals that have venom injecting claws.
What? New fear unlocked I guess.
Lol luckily they are usually only between 2 & 8 millimeters long so they couldnt harm you even if they wanted to
Ohhhhhh. In that case they are kind of cute.
They're also tiny. I had one land on my arm recently and it was maybe 7mm in the lobgest dimension when fully stretched out.
So big "u wot mate?" energy with the tiny waving pincers.
The claws look like a hipster mustache.
He calls himself Scorpion, everyone else in the bar calls him Pseudo.
How else would they hitch a ride?
Just pay the dunmer driving the gigantic flea. They'll make a special trip, just for you. Same low price.
They need them to brag to their fishing buddies.
Clearly this should be called the "Caliper Bug".
Must give amazing hugs
They need them claws for pinching them thicc booties!
Just a pinch
Fuck that. They look non-pseudo enough for me.
Well I don't care what you think! I'm crossposting things either way!
Opening jars
For deciding who shall go and who shall stay
bites you
These are good little friends to have around.
It's just describing how big the fish they caught was
arachnids have ten limbs, I'm tired of living a lie.
Seen a few of them here in Nova Scotia and thought they were ticks at first
