Yes, some animals eat insects off other animals. Chimps eat ticks and other parasites which are on other chimps. This is a sign of friendship when they do this, and it helps each other. Ticks can cause disease.

This also happens underwater. A type of fish eats at parasites on the larger fishes. This small fish goes into their mouths, and since it is eating at the parasites, the fish does not eat it and allows it to do so.
