I've never heard of rubber ducky isopods before, but that's the most hilariously unimportant but hysterically funny "warm" dispute I've heard in ages. Maybe ever.
My grandpa was one of the leading experts on pseudoscorpions and named many of the species, even has at least one named after him too! He's one of the biggest reasons I love and love to learn about all animals great and small. Lots of fun memories from his lab. :) So, I was SO excited to see that these sweet little guys were how your super rad channel started off 2022! You guys are the best!
grow large psudo scorps make their habitat enclosure in away you can increase the oxygen levels. see what happens may beable to grow larger other species.
These are, in my humble opinion, the best pet arachnid order with a silent ‘P’ in the name. I got a good laugh from the outtakes 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you again, Clint, Jason, and Michelle, for another fun collaboration!
Yes. Maybe he should do a video on the largest Psuedoscorpion. Unfortunately it may not be legal, as it may potentially be endangered . . That's one neat-looking isopod you have there! Are you excited for the isopod game in development? =)
He said they were tiny, I was picturing house fly size, but they're like a speck dirt. I've probably walked over a hundred of them in my life without knowing they even existed.
Pseudoscorpions just showed up in my isopod tank one day, probably by hitching a ride on a fly or something... They have established a stable colony there now!
@@Aquarimax Never seen them actively hunting mancae. Had no problems with mites and fungus gnats (maybe the psedoscorpions ate them). The populations of noth springtails and isopods remain stable.
A really cool way to look for wild pseudoscorpions is actually to set a light trap for moths, flies, and beetles! Psuedoscorpions will actually latch onto these flying critters and hitch a ride when they’re feeling that their current habitat isn’t suitable. The only pseudoscorpions I’ve ever found have been attached to the legs of beetles with this method.
Thank you for helping me recall my joy as an 11 year old finding a creature so bizarre and amazing. My enthusiasm was so infectious I convinced my parents to take me to the local college biology department to have it identified. Although I now suspect their motivation was driven by making sure it wasn't a "baby" scorpion. My father's approval for my new pet was greatly enhanced when he noticed I would willingly spend time in his garden hunting Aphids to feed it. Unfortunately it's life was brief (47 years ago care information was scarce) Nevertheless such experiences left a mark on my life. I often receive unsolicited visits from acquaintances and coworkers bringing "gifts" to be identified because I'm "The Bug Guy" Not considered exactly an honorific, nor slur, it has kept my life interesting. Thank you for creating an excellent channel.
These tiny friendos, or a species of them at least live in the oak trees behind my house growing up. fascinating to finally learn a thing or two about them
Pseudoscorpions! I can't begin to tell you how glad I was to see this pop up on my feed! Several years ago I became fascinated with these little beasties, but there was hardly anything available on them on the internet. Now I see the pet trade in them is starting to form, hooray. :-) Might I suggest your friends who are dealing with them try to start colonies of some of the bigger species out there as well? There are some recently discovered species that get a centimeter or more in length.
If and when Clint does, I hope he collabs with AntsCanada for it, that would be amazing (Although considering how AC ironically lives in the Philippines, may be difficult to actually do)
One of my books has tips on keeping pseuscorpions! It recommends keeping them in small contains (glitter containers) so they don’t dry out and so they are visible. It says to feed springtails and keep some moss with them. For finding them it said to grab leaf litter, put some mesh halfway in a jar, place the leaves over the mesh and put a desk lamp over it. The light would drive them down into the empty space under the mesh. (Book is Bug Zoo)
I’ve found a species of pseudo scorpion in Western NY many times. Usually in barns in-between wood boards. I know where Harlequin beetles live when they land on logs the pseudo scorpions will clime on board and take a free flight to another area. Pretty cool creatures.
Never been so excited to click on a Clint's Reptile video (and that's a high bar!) I remember being shown these arachnids hiding in tiny cracks in wooden railings of a nature park and having my mind blown. They really are stinkin rad, what a great way to start the New Year!
It doesn't matter what animal you are showing I just automatically smile when you are talking 😁😁 smiliest man on the planet even beating Professor Cox and that's saying something!
I was in a dark place and I was feeling pretty hopeless, but the cheery enthusiasm here feels so genuine. It reminded me for a moment what it is like to feel the same way and with a chuckle and smile I was able to pull through. I know it is cliche to say this on the Internet, but this video 'cured' my depression. Thank you for that and for the information on these amazing little pseudoscorpions!
I remember the first time I saw one...still the largest one I've ever seen. I was about a kid, maybe 7 years old...watching Saturday morning cartoons and this thing that looked like a spider with claws crawled out from beneath the couch and I thought it was so weird. I went to the library and did as much research on them that I could from the books there, and found I could find them easily if I took an old book, dampened the pages a bit, and put it in the darkest part of my closet...wait a week or two, and open the book, page by page, and there are usually a few in there and easy to spot on the white paper if you use a blank notebook. Most of the ones I found like that were very small though...maybe 2mm...the one that crawled from beneath the couch was nearly 1cm long if I had to guess. They would be cool to keep beneath one of those inexpensive video microscopes with a 24/7 live video feed!
I thought this was going to turn into one of the horror stories about getting jumpscared by a 'scary bug' as a kid. I enjoyed that it was just a calm reaction of curiosity. It's more wholesome.
As always I feel Clint is the reptile/petuber equivalent of Brian from Tolarian Community College (Magic The Gathering scene). You guys are so genuine and helpful and positive to your communities.
How did I not find any of these as a kid? So sad! They're really cool but I don't know if I'd enjoy having pets that small that stay that small. Tiny tarantula slings are trouble enough. XD
I just googled *”rubber ducky isopods”* -and I’m definitely team Clint on this one. As a woman who has a full *rubber ducky themed guest house,* I feel slightly qualified to determine that they are undeniably *”rubber ducky”* looking. I am also now the proud owner of an adorable little *rubber ducky isopod* keychain/ornament, that I just found and impulse bought off Etsy while googling images of it… So that’s a thing. 🤣🤷♀️❤️

I've loved pseudoscorpions since I started finding them in my garden. Cute little dudes just running around and eating whatever is eating my plants. Or eating whatever is living in the soil minding their own business. Sometimes I use a stick to move them to a bug that looks particularly juicy or higher up on plants than I normally find the pseudos. I don't think mine typically encounter aphids but they always nab one if they see it. If anything Clint has made me feel better about being a grown ass woman playing with critters outside. It's my spare time that I work hard to earn and keep. If I want to sit in the dirt all afternoon and talk to bugs then that's my right.
I never experienced messing with bugs in dirt as a kid due to being terrified of them. Now in my early 20s, I'm now realizing how much fun I was missing out on.
This past year while I was forging for mushrooms, I found one of these little guys on a polypore fungus. I never knew they existed before that. They are such cool little animals thank you so much for sharing more information about them.
Clint bringing the nightmares again! Very interesting little creatures, but I still feel a lot better watching less scary critters. When are you revisiting gaboon vipers cobras? I need something like that to bring my heartrate down, lol.
I remember when I was little in school I flipped to a page in Mt book and there was this Lil guy walking Over my book and I was like ok I'm not tripping that's a scorpion. Then my friendly closed me book and squished it and I couldn't get a better look at it. It was something I thought I imagined for the longest time
That's the first pet I ever met in the wild covered by Clint! I had Chelifer cancroides in my previous flat, because it was a shared flat (students, you know) and not extremely clean (this species likes to eat dust mites). Found one of those guys in my books and googled it! I later also worked in a library and came across more pseudoscorpions then.
Those are so cute will have to look harder to see them in the wild. Will check on line to see if in Oregon. Thank you so much for such a fun video. GOD BLESS 🦂❤🦂❤🦂❤🦂❤
i found some of these little goobers clinging onto a fruit fly. there were about 5 of them and they were very very small, considering they were chillin on a fruit fly... it took me a while to figure out what they even were til i found this video
I actually found the Roachcrossing cultures many years ago but hesitated on getting some because there was next to no info on keeping them...so I am so freakin excited right now!!! Thank you for finally allowing me to keep some of these rad lil dudes! :D
I killed one in my room because I thought it was a scorpion baby. But I found it weird it had no tail, so I had to google it. Now I'm here learning about pseudoscorpions. Weird how I've never seen one in 20 years, and the first one I saw was in my room.
Pseudoscorpions are cool, and can sometimes be found indoors as well. One morning as I woke up I found one on my bed right next to my pillow looking for food among some patches of dandruff. I named him Harry but I unfortunately lost track of him (or her) before I could find any suitable housing. He might just have been a lone pseudoscorpion and in that case dead by now but I like to thing there's a colony living somewhere in the walls or floors. And perhaps one morning I'll wake up and find one of Harrys great grandkids next to my pillow. FYI Pseudoscorpions are great to have in your home as they're completely harmless to humans but will hunt any living thing that's small enough for them to kill including all kinds of mites and lice.
Pseudoscorpions are some of the most adorable little critters I've had the honour of personally meeting, myself. I spent a short while living in an area where there were TONS of them and got to interact with them multiple times a day, and yet before that I'd never seen one or heard of them before. I absolutely fell in love with them the moment I saw my first one. They're just so friggin CUTE!!
Fascinating video, Clint! My first time hearing about these little arthropods. If I wanted to keep my very own invertebrate colony, these would be something I'd consider keeping. When I saw the thumbnail for this creature I expected it to be a lot larger, but being so small was a surprise for me to say the least.
Loved this one so much! I get excited every time I find a pseudoscorpion and then geek out about them to anyone who will listen haha. Pretty sure I posted a photo of one to your Discord a while back! I may have to try to get a colony going after the snow melts. Fascinating creatures!
I have a worm bin for indoor composting. Pseudoscorpions joined the party and are part of the ecosystem along with silver mites and of course the red wigglers. They are cool to watch with a loupe they mostly hang on the top cardboard. I think I have 2 different species by body shape and colour.
These are so awesome! I probably seen a ton of them and never thought about it, thinking they were just silverfish or earrings. Now I'm going to pay attention when I see little critters.
I have a bit of a phobia of small and tiny insects… these are kinda cute though! I’ve been slowly tackling my phobia by keeping isopods, which I also consider cute. I don’t touch them unless I have to though. But I think pseudoscorpions might be too small for me 🤔
Clint , one was recently discovered in the Pilbara , there were 2 species of these , But Nesidiochernes Fissuricola , 380 million years old, a 380 million year old fossil was almost identical , this is amazing Web and all .Ric
I knew they were in my home state of Ohio for a long time, but the first time I ever laid eyes on pseudoscorpions was last year. I pulled up a board under my parent's balcony and inspected it for isopods, spiders, snails, etc. and what at first I thought were tiny baby isopods were pseudos! I was so excited. They were so hard to capture on my phone camera haha.
Just noticed at 3:57 I think the pseudo was either cleaning his claw or taking a little snack on some dead Clint skin. If the latter, definitely goes to show how harmless they are.
I loved watching Meer at Manner years ago. I loved watching them just pick up a scorpion and chew its tail/ stinger right off before devouring.. they made a cool crunching sound!🦂😅
I remember finding one of these as a kid on a farm, running over to my parents like "i found a scorpion" and them just looking at me weirdly because Belgium doesn't have any that i know of
I've never heard of rubber ducky isopods before, but that's the most hilariously unimportant but hysterically funny "warm" dispute I've heard in ages. Maybe ever.
Clint has a video about Isopods and one of the segments is about the Rubber Ducky Isopod :)

They are famous for transporting themselves on larger creatures (phoresis). Glad they weren't a nuisance for your existing animals.
That's great, they'll eat any mites in there.
I think the magnifying glass is probably the most expensive part of keeping these.

Well neither these nor isopods are insects (these are arachnids, isos are crustaceans), so that might explain it.

Clint , one was recently discovered in the Pilbara , there were 2 species of these , But Nesidiochernes Fissuricola , 380 million years old, a 380 million year old fossil was almost identical , this is amazing Web and all .Ric

Always great to see Russell on here!
I am always honored and delighted to appear!
The largest pseudoscorpion, Garypus titanius, is critically endangered. Somebody start breeding it and save it!
I knew they were in my home state of Ohio for a long time, but the first time I ever laid eyes on pseudoscorpions was last year. I pulled up a board under my parent's balcony and inspected it for isopods, spiders, snails, etc. and what at first I thought were tiny baby isopods were pseudos! I was so excited. They were so hard to capture on my phone camera haha.
Rus is great. Such a calming and knowledgeable guy
That is so phenomenally cute!
I found one of these on a roof we were working on the other day. I was very confused because I've never seen one before! Very cool little dudes!
Best wishes for the new year to Clint and the entire team behind him
I’ve only ever found one of these under a piece of bark on a tree when I was in 4th grade I was so excited it was so tiny
These are so weird and cute! I'd never heard of these before. I like them ❤
They look like ticks that went to the gym together and run around going "bro".
Oh wow… now I need these precious little beans for myself 🥰
The kind of pet for people who've kept sea monkeys for more than a week.
I found one of these in my basement. Thought I discovered a new insect. Found out what it was after a little research. Very interesting.
Almost at 400k great work clint and the team!!
The thumbnail pulled me in, i have never seen a stranger creature
Just noticed at 3:57 I think the pseudo was either cleaning his claw or taking a little snack on some dead Clint skin. If the latter, definitely goes to show how harmless they are.
I loved watching Meer at Manner years ago. I loved watching them just pick up a scorpion and chew its tail/ stinger right off before devouring.. they made a cool crunching sound!🦂😅
I remember finding one of these as a kid on a farm, running over to my parents like "i found a scorpion" and them just looking at me weirdly because Belgium doesn't have any that i know of
Every day lately I've learned more animals I never knew existed, and every time I think I know them all a new one appears
Found two of these in my old farm house. They were dead by the time i found them but i couldnt stop staring. what a weird, cool, tiny little thing
I used to find these guys in old bookshelves.
Ran into these guys in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park on a picnic table, soooo coool!!!
