Any Entomologists here?

[Smiler.]

I've just had this weird looking thing crawl across my desk at the office.

It's reddy/brown in colour

About 2mm long

8 legs (I think)

2 massive claws about 2mm long


I have it in a sealed tube but I doubt I can photograph it.


More googling now

It's a self-propelled claw?

A very small lobster?

[DrTre]

It's a land lobster.

They're not dangerous unless provoked by gradually starving them of oxygen. Then they release a gaseous agent that causes sterility in all mammals.

Only 1 nanogram of this is required to render the testes of the average human male as barren as the surface of Mercury.

I found some very disturbing porn following one google search result

But nothing on this little thing.
