Order Pseudoscorpiones
Tick? Found on my ceiling
They use their scorpion-like claws to subdue their tiny prey, engage in a mating dance, and to attach to flies or beetles to hitch a ride to other suitable locations.
These creatures are amazingly cool! They're very small and not commonly seen due to their size and habits. I recently uncovered one under some loose tree bark but it disappeared in a crack in the wood.
