I found a pseudoscorpion.

Ray Harryhausen giant clawed land crab beast.
This monster was in my garage stalking a scrap of newspaper.  I had no idea what it was so I trapped it, took pictures, and ran to wikipedia.  Turns out it's a pseudoscorpion, and pseudoscorpions live in Oregon, just people don't usually see them.

Not really giant at all.  At least it's not a tick.

Weird Pointy Spider

I've never seen a spider like this here before, this year has been sort of an odd one for new and different creepy crawlies.  There is also an influx of snails that wasn't around the PNW when I was a kid.
