Thread: Name this critter (insect)

    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.
