Parasites and predators are quite similar, however, an animal is called a parasite if it only eats part of another animal and its victim continues to live. Mosquitos are micropredators.

A parasite feeds off a host without meaning to kill it while a predator feeds off a prey which it kills intentionally.

The main difference between a parasite and predator is....
A parasite is an organism which depends upon its host for food, shelter and reproduction.
Whereas the predator kills its prey and eats it. It doesn't depend for shelter or reproduction except for food.
Predator and parasite are similar in their feeding habits. Both of them depend upon others for their food. Infact we the humans are also called predators which is not accepted by many scientists.
Parasites are smaller than host and don't kill host eg. mosquito on man .
Predators are larger than prey and kill it eg lion and deer .
parasite or predator
Piranhas are predators.
A parasite is an organism that feeds on (and may live inside, or be attached to) another organism without killing it (in comparison to a predator which kills and eats other organisms). The organism upon which a parasite feeds is known as the host.
Parasites benefit from being with the host all the while harming the host. The host is nice and tolerant that it allows the parasite from it without it benefiting from the parasite at all.
An internal parasite feeds with his entire body inside the surface (epithelium, for animals) of the host, while an external parasite feeds with part of, or whole body standing outside the host's surface.
no, a predator
No. Deer would be more like a "predator" to a plant, not a parasite.
a owl is a predator
A fluke is a parasite, and a flounder is a fish

A predator is the one that is hunting and the prey is the one being hunted.
To be simple:The flea is the parasite and the dog is the host.
No it is a parasite which needs another organism in order to survive a predator hunts and eats food
vector is usually is the arthropodes carrying the parasites such as mosquitoes.
The best answer would be a predator, but it could also be considered a host.
No, the dog would be considered the prey. A flea is a parasite, which makes it the predator.
YES
