emerald-of-the-eight:

Teeny tiny! These fellows are Prokoenenia wheeleri, a type of microwhip scorpion belonging to the order Palpigradi. They measure no more than 3 millimeters in length and are commonly found in moist environments such as underneath rotting logs. Not much is known of their behavior, but it’s been theorized that they may be predators in their micro-environments. Images by Lynn McCutchen.
