Name this critter (insect)
I found this crawling on my leg this evening. I knocked it to the floor before it cut into me with it's claws. Size is about that of a pencil eraser.
I'm searching but haven't come across anything yet.
By the way, it did squish when I mashed it. Or it mashed when I squished it. Either way.

I had no idea what it was, but I found this by searching Google for "scorpion looking bug".

They're pretty creepy looking things.

Wild looking critter. I would have called it the Scorpion Tick.

I'll take that over a tick in my leg any day of the week.
