Thanks for the comments all :)
I assume these pseudoscorpions can somehow lock their joints- can't see how they could keep a grip for days on end often supporting their whole body weight. Seems to be a good time to spot them now in the UK (damp leaf litter/compost heaps)

Circumcision macro style... :D

Great capture Brian, though the fly didn't think so.

Another good series Brian, I'm sure those pseudoscorpions can feel the pheremones ;) As to a new form of contraception, does this mean these flies have got 'crab's ;)

Thanks for the comments (esp the funny ones) :)

Dave according to the local pseudoscorpion expert - they just get more time to ambush mating flies :)
