Found a disturbing insect

[littleindiangirl]

I found this on my boyfriends pants early this morning. At first i thought it was a tick [freaked out], so i killed it, well i tried. It didnt die, so Smushed as hard as I could. Now it's dead, and I have NEVER seen anything like this in my life. any suggestions? Should I be worried for my animals? Or me?

it's a pseudoscorpion. They're beneficial if you like gardening, they eat nematodes, mites and such.

That is a load off my shoulders. I thought that I had left the can of mountain dew and bag of doritos on the floor for too long and i grew some new crazy tick hybrid. that would be just my luck too...
