Animal identification request
I found some kind of an unidentified arthropod (it's not an insect as it has 8 legs), and I have no idea whether to release it or eliminate it. Would anyone advise?







I hope you didn't cause you to lose your appetite or anything.

Update: Thanks to the people in israeli, I found it's a pseudoscorpion. I released it in the wild (after it survived almost 2 days without eating anything), although after reading more about it, it appeared I should have just put it on the floor, since it's a useful predator which eats booklice, mites, bed bugs and all other annoying bugs, and doesn't harm humans in any way.
