Whip spiders are having a renaissance

Having never before in my life seen a pseudoscorpion, I spotted one on a fence post the other day and my daughter spotted another one in our yard a couple days later. They’re pretty neat:

They’re tiny, the “big” one was still less than 1/2" from tip to tip.

The largest whip spiders are around 3 inches across, nowhere near 27 inches.
