Borneo Scorpion - a frequent means of representing death is to depict creatures whose poisonous bite could kill you. The scorpion is a common motif, the sting from its tail having made it one of the most feared animals in history. Yet in Borneo, the scorpion tattoo is a highly stylized version of the Aso, the country’s mystical dog-dragon, which is seen as offering protection from evil spirits. So there’s a double psychology at work here, as to wear this tattoo is to feel in some way protected against a potentially disastrous fate.
Are you kidding me?? The symbolism of it all? In this essay I will-

Heterometrus sp. scorpion found at night walking around into the last remnants of primary forest along the Kinabatangan river in Borneo. Around those strips of primary forest, only wastelands made of palm oil plantations and roads can be found. #scorpion #conservation #forest #borneo #malaysia #kinabatangan @ilcp_photographers https://www.instagram.com/p/CJtbT65AL-2/?igshid=dxiaeg49k8uv

After a long night of both dusk and dawn bat surveys, being home and about to hop in a hot shower was just what I had been wanting. I had not long put down my prescription glasses when I noticed a dark speck on the white grouting between the tiles that make up the walls of the shower. Squinting, I could just make out what looked like the world’s tiniest scorpion.
With a steady hand, a few small British coins as a size reference and the aid of my macro lens, I was able to get a little closer. Sure enough, I had been sharing my shower with a pseudoscorpion.

What are pseudoscorpions?
Pseudoscorpions are arachnids (this class of animals also includes spiders, ticks, true scorpions)
They belong to the order Pseudoscorpiones
They have flat, pear-shaped bodies, and pincers
They don’t have a tail like their true scorpion cousins
They are very small, ranging in size from 2-8mm
How many species of pseudoscorpion are there?
There are more than 3,300 different species of pseudoscorpion known across 430 genera, and they are found all over the globe
In Britain, there are known to be 27 different species, 12 of which are quite common
How long have pseudoscorpions been around?
The oldest known fossil pseudoscorpion dates back 380 million years to the Devonian period and has changed very little over this period closely resembling today’s pseduoscorpions in morphology
Are pseudoscorpions dangerous?
No, not unless you are a springtail, mite or other tiny invertebrate prey!
They are actually very beneficial, not only as integral parts of the ecosystem, but also because they eat clothes moth larvae, carpet beetle larvae, ants, mites, small flies and booklice that may enter your house
How do they capture their prey?
Pseudoscorpions catch their prey with their pincers before injecting paralysing venom and then digestive fluids
They then suck out the liquefied tissues much like a spider would
Unlike spiders who have their venom glands in their mouth parts and scorpions who have their venom glands in their tails, pseudoscorpions have their venom glands in the mobile finger of their pincers
Where can I find a pseudoscorpion?
Species have been found under tree bark and in tree hollows, beneath leaf and pine litter, within soil and under stones, in caves and at the seashore
Chelifer cancroides is the species most commonly found in peoples homes in the UK. This species is known as a book scorpion and is associated with dusty books where they prey on booklice and dust mites
Did you know…
Pseudoscorpions can spin silk from their jaws to make disk shaped cocoons for mating, moulting and waiting out cold weather
The young pseudoscorpions ride on the mother’s back for a short while after hatching
Some species are phoretic, meaning they grab a hold of a larger, sometimes flying host, and can hitch a ride!
