Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Viscum album
Mistletoe is a charismatic parasite of tree crowns with a long history of folklore and connections with Christmas celebrations. This, and its need for light, helps explain why it is most common in human‐made habitats across Europe. Once thought to benignly take just water and nutrients from its host it is now known to take carbon as well which can lead

Single 1‐day‐old mated Anastatus japonicus females exhibited a type II functional response to increasing host densities (1–50 Antheraea pernyi eggs), with an inverse host density‐dependent pattern of percent parasitism. The upper limit to the daily attack rate was estimated as 7.6 Antheraea pernyi eggs.

Extraordinary drilling capabilities of the tiny parasitoid Eupelmus messene Walker (Hymenoptera, Eupelmidae) [PDF]
In the course of evolution, animals and particularly insects, have developed efficient and complex mechanisms for survival. Biomimetics aims to find applications for these features of organisms (or organs) in industry, agriculture, and medicine.
