bogleech:tumbr561pete:amherstwu:Cranefly Airlines by johnhallmen on Flickr.I love the parasite on his leg… even bugs get bugs!!!That actually isn’t a parasite, but a hitch-hiking pseudoscorpion! They grab on to flying insects in order to travel vast (to them) distances, dropping off when their vehicle lands somewhere suitable.They can be found all over the world and probably colonize distant islands this way. They prey on springtails, mites and other equally tiny arthropods and are even common in old libraries, feeding on the booklice.Now I finally know what that weird thing my dad said he found on a fly once was. -- source link
