Mites of the family Acarophenacidae are ectoparasitoids of insect eggs. Unlike the insect parasitoids, it is the adult stage in Acarophenacidae that acts as a parasitoid. Specifically, adult female mites feed on insect eggs and their body swells up with offspring, which eventually emerge as adults. [49]

The bedeguar is a good example of a complex community of insects. [15] [16] [17] The cynipid wasp Periclistus brandtii is an inquiline that lives harmlessly within the bedeguar gall and like Diplolepis rosae itself, is often parasitised by insects referred to as parasitoids or even by hyperparasitoids in some cases.

Many insects are parasitic. The largest group, with over 100,000 species [147] and perhaps over a million, [148] consists of a single clade of parasitoid wasps among the Hymenoptera. [149] These are parasites of other insects, eventually killing their hosts. [147] Some are hyper-parasites, as their hosts are other parasitoid wasps.
