Ant spiders are members of the family Zodariidae. They are small to medium-sized eight-eyed spiders found in all tropical and subtropical regions of South America, Africa, Madagascar, Australia-New Guinea, New Zealand, Arabia and the Indian subcontinent. Most species are daytime hunters and live together with ants, mimicking their behavior and sometimes even their chemical traits. Although little is known about most zodariids, members of the genus Zodarion apparently feed only on ants; a number of other genera in the family are apparently also ant specialists.

The Streblidae are a family of flies in the superfamily Hippoboscoidea, and together with their relatives the Nycteribiidae, are known as bat flies. They are winged or wingless ectoparasites of bats, and often have long legs. They appear to be host-specific, with different species of bat flies occurring only on particular species of bat hosts, sometimes with multiple species of flies sharing a host bat.

Its two dorsal fins are placed far back on the body, with the first much larger than the second.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Diphyllobothriidae</span> Family of flatworms

Diphyllobothriidae is a family of Cestoda (tapeworms). Members of this family are gut parasites of vertebrates. In most species the definitive hosts are marine or aquatic mammals such as cetaceans and pinnipeds, the first intermediate host usually being a crustacean and the second intermediate a fish. The genus Diphyllobothrium is found as an adult in mammals and fish-eating birds, including the domestic cat. The genus Spirometra tends to have a land-dwelling or semi-aquatic vertebrate as its second intermediate host, with the adults usually occurring in felines.
