"content": "I was looking through my photos from my run yesterday and looked closer at this photo of a NZ large hoverfly. It has a #pseudoscorpion hitching a ride on its foot!\n\nThe Common Naturalist has an article diving into the biology of pseudoscorpions and their habit of hitching a ride on other insects. Evidence from fossil amber shows that they've been doing this for at least 44 million years.\n\nhttps://commonnaturalist.com/2021/05/14/hitchhiking-pseudoscorpions/\n\nhttps://inaturalist.nz/observations/195296551\n\n#insects #phoresy #nz #nature\n\nhttps://mastodon.nz/system/media_attachments/files/111/671/236/197/456/603/original/ab64e0b2285c3662.jpg\n\nhttps://mastodon.nz/system/media_attachments/files/111/671/236/203/383/548/original/15da48e76b135e97.jpg",
