Hello bugman! I saw this bug on my thai hot pepper plant today. It’s been quite hot outside lately. He was pretty still and he was the only one of his kind that I saw. I thought he was a pseudoscorpion at first, but I couldn’t find any that have the same markings, and I’m pretty sure he has antennae, as well.
