Almost all living organisms in nature have natural enemies.
Natural enemies even exist between humans.
The natural enemy relationship does not work in a one-sided way, and it plays an important role in maintaining balance in the ecosystem.
Usually if the host organism is completely removed, its natural enemy becomes extinct due to a lack of food.
Fascinating nature maintains a harmonious balance between species by naturally controlling the natural enemy relationship.
Natural enemies can be divided into four types: predator, parasitoid, parasite and pathogen.
Among these, insects usually have a predator and prey relationship.
Predators, as shown in the main natural enemy relationship menu, are represented by ladybugs and aphids, spiders and locusts. They are in an eat-and-eaten relationship.
Parasitoids invade onto or into the bodies of other insects and become parasitic until the host dies.
Parasitic bees and tachina flies are representative parasitoid insects.
