The most likely answer is the arachnid known as the pseudo-scorpion.
The term pseudo-scorpion means 'fake scorpion' and is used exactly because this tiny arachnid looks so much like a normal scorpion - only many times smaller!
Tiny bugs that look like scorpions
You may have noticed this bug crawling around your bathtub and, on closer inspection, realized it looked a lot like a miniature scorpion.
In fact, what you're dealing with is a harmless, clawed arachnid that you shouldn't be overly worried about.
Having a pseudo-scorpion is actually quite a good thing: They feed on the larvae of pesky moths, beetles, ants, lice and small flies.
What makes a pseudo-scorpion different from a regular scorpion?
Apart from being very small, pseudo-scorpions differ from regular scorpions in that they don't have a long tail with a venomous stinger.
You may also be interested to know that a pseudo-scorpion would never crawl into your house (they're far too lazy for that). Instead, they hitch a ride on larger insects, a technique known as phoresy.
