Read the passag
a pseudoscorpion on the back of a harlequin
beetle
Pseudoscorpions are small arachnids that often
crawl onto the backs of large beetles, such as
harlequin beetles.
When a beetle with a pseudoscorpion on its
back flies away, the pseudoscorpion rides along.
This ride helps the pseudoscorpion disperse, or
move to a new location, much faster and
farther than it could on its own.
When the pseudoscorpion is carried along, it
does not harm the beetle, but it does not help
the beetle, either.
Which type of relationship is formed when a pseudoscorpion is dispersed by a harlequin
beetle?
commensal
mutualistic
parasitic
