| Description |
Photo by: NPS / Erik Oberg USA: Wyoming, Park County Yellowstone NP, Wash N1 UTM 546521E 4968420N Ele. 2260m Pitfall Trap 11-22 August, E. Oberg YELL_WASH N1_1_S 20182208 2 millimeter Predator - Pseudoscorpion This pseudoscorpion is one of the most fearsome predators native to Yellowstone. It is far smaller than the more famous wolves and bears, but this carnivore certainly holds its own when it comes to preying on other insects. It uses its fearsome claws to immobilize its prey. The pseudoscorpion carries its venom not in fangs, but rather in specialized glands found on the underside of its claws, which liquefies the unlucky insect. Then, using its straw like mouth, the pseudoscorpion sucks its prey into its mouth. These organisms also engage in phoresy, a type of cooperation in which the pseudoscorpion hitches a ride beneath the wings of larger flying insects. Despite their fearsome appearance, pseudoscorpions are not dangerous to humans. |
