Cab, Bus, or Cargo Plane? Including more organisms with parasites than just caterpillars.

I changed the name of the project from "Bus Passengers: Caterpillar Parasitoids & More" to “Passengers: Parasites Taking Rides“ to reflect how this project has morphed to include more than just lepidopteran parasites in the larval stage. Thank you in advance for your contributions.

One photographer in my Odonata group on Facebook posted the picture of a Common Glider Dragonfly, very heavily affected by parasites. Would this be of any interest to your project ?

Yes, indeed. I would be very glad to include it.

I have passed on your message to the person who took the picture I mentioned. I hope she shares it with you.

Thanks! Is she on iNat? If she is, I could add her observation without her needing to join this project unless she wishes to of course. :)

I was told that she is on iNat but don't know if she posted the picture I mentioned...

@botanicaltreasures Just found this cool project! Are ticks and isopods on vertebrates also of interest, or is that straying a bit far from the original brief?

Ticks & isopods are most welcome. They certainly are passengers of interest. Have a great day!
