hey, this might be a weird one idk. im very terrified of the idea of tapeworms but i would still like to respect them as insects.

can you give some fun facts about some of the benefits that they provide to an ecosystem?

Well, for starters, tapeworms aren't insects. In fact they're not even in the same phylum as insects and arachnids - they're not arthropods. So they're not really something I know a whole lot about. But I think we can consider them bugs! Especially since I've posted other flatworms before.

As I said in the answer to someone else's question about ticks today, no organism is in an ecosystem to serve a purpose or to benefit it. They're there to survive and reproduce and keep their own species going. But tapeworms are parasites, and parasites do often play an important role in population control for their hosts and nutrient dispersal in an ecosystem.

They're doing what they're doing to survive, and they can't help it that they're harming their host in the process. And they definitely don't know that their life cycle is kinda gross :P

I made a tapeworm for an art assignment but I bet you don't care..... You probably don't care that he's poseable too.....
