Home›Insects›Diet›ParasiticBrowse ByParasiticDiet groups species by what they mainly eat: herbivores that feed on plants, carnivores that feed on other animals, omnivores that eat both, and narrower feeding styles such as insectivores, piscivores, filter feeders, detritivores and scavengers, and parasitic species that live on or in a host. A species is placed by its own typical adult feeding behavior as described on its page, not by an occasional or unusual meal.FactsParasiticSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonReproductive ModeWell-attestedOviparous (Egg-Laying) 1ParasiticFilter Results20 entriesCommon GroupAllBees, Wasps And Ants (Hymenoptera) (4)Beetles (Coleoptera) (1)Butterflies And Moths (Lepidoptera) (1)Fleas And Lice (1)Flies (Diptera) (6)Mantises (Mantodea) (1)Other Insects (2)True Bugs (Hemiptera) (4)Everyday GroupAllBees, Wasps And Ants (Hymenoptera) (4)Beetles (Coleoptera) (1)Butterflies And Moths (Lepidoptera) (1)Fleas And Lice (1)Flies (Diptera) (6)Mantises (Mantodea) (1)Other Insects (2)True Bugs (Hemiptera) (4)HabitatAllAlpine (1)Bog (1)Desert (3)Lake (1)River (1)Temperate Forest (1)Tropical Rainforest (1)Wetlands (1)Where It LivesAllAfrica (5)Asia (1)Australia (2)Belgium (1)Botswana (1)Brazil (4)Canada (2)Colombia (1)Denmark (9)Ecuador (1)Germany (1)Japan (1)Mozambique (1)Namibia (1)North America (3)Norway (9)Poland (1)Portugal (1)South Africa (1)South America (3)South Asia (1)Sweden (9)United States (13)Uruguay (1)Zimbabwe (1)Conservation StatusAllNot Evaluated (6)System (Realm)AllFreshwater (2)Marine (4)Terrestrial (19)Living or ExtinctAllYes (20)ThreatsAllInvasive and Other Problematic Species, Genes and Diseases (1)Relationship to PeopleAllAgricultural or Structural Pest (2)Disease Vector (9)Invasive or Introduced Species (2)Natural Pest Control (1)Venomous or Dangerous to Humans (2)CITES AppendixAllNot Listed (17)NatureServe RankAllG5 Secure (1)GNR Unranked (2)EcosystemAllArctic Tundra (1)Kruger National Park (1)Okavango Delta (1)Pampas (1)Serengeti (1)TaxonomyAllAnopheles (1)Coleoptera (1)Dermaptera (1)Diptera (5)Hemiptera (2)Hymenoptera (4)Insecta (2)Lepidoptera (1)Neuroptera (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 20Anopheles gambiaeParasiticAssassin BugParasiticBed BugParasiticBlack FlyParasiticBlister BeetleParasiticBraconid WaspParasiticDasymutilla OccidentalisParasiticEarwigParasiticFleaParasiticHorse FlyParasiticIchneumon WaspParasiticKissing BugParasiticLuna MothParasiticMantidflyParasiticMosquitoParasiticScrewworm FlyParasiticTarantula HawkParasiticTriatoma infestansParasiticTsetse FlyParasiticTwisted-wing ParasiteParasiticSources1.
