Malyssa You found a windscorpion in your dorm kitchen. The do sometimes find their way indoors. Thanks for the great photo and description. They feed on dead and living insects, spiders, and other small creatures. They are usually active at night. During the day they hide under stones and other objects or in burrows. Adults live less than a year. They live in warm arid desert, and sandy areas. They are harmless to people except they have been known to pinch if disturbed, but are not poisonous. Those found indoors should be caught and released outdoors. To catch one, place a jar over it and then slip a piece of heavy paper between the jar and floor to form a lid, then take it outside and release it. It has quite a scary appearance.
