Thank you, pseudoscorpions are beautiful creatures. If I had a big garden I would have 100s of pieces of wood to make sure I can find one every time I go out.

Have either of you ever tried looking under pieces of wood - Pseudoscorpions are often there - they have been seen everywhere in the UK.

I look under bits of wood but not for a month or so now
