    This is a pseudoscorpion, a tiny arachnid related to spiders and true scorpions. They are general predators on other small arthropods, and completely harmless to humans - http://ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/pseudoscorpions

    They occur nearly worldwide in the tropic and temperate zones, but often escape notice because of their small size.
