Pseudoscorpion hitching a ride on a stilt-legged fly (Taeniapterinae)

If you look closely at these flies, there's often a little Pseudoscorpion hanging on. Presumably they do this for transport, or perhaps its an example of cooportation and they help control parasites on the fly. If anyone knows more about this behaviour, please let me know
