Are there any predators for parasitic worms?

Best Answers

I cannot think of anything that eats parasitic worms but there are Hyperparasites that have other parasites as their hosts. I've seen this with arthropods but never heard of it with worms. As for actual predators of endo-parasites I do not think any exist. read more

Many other insects are predators of insects, such as adult lacewings on aphids, and dragon/damsel flies, antlions, certain wasps, certain true bugs, and mantids. Non-insect Parasites and Predators. Of course, there are many non-insect taxa that feed on forest pests, such as birds, fungi, mammals, and many others. read more

No. A predator kills it's source of food, while a parasite keeps it's host alive because if the host dies it needs to find another food source. read more
