This is a picture of a caterpillar resting on a branch (and the This-Is-An-Original-Picture Cookie of Verification, or COV ;).) The branch will represent a full-size tree in this case. This picture represents PARASITISM, which is a non mutual relationship between organisms of different species where one organism (the parasite) benefits at the expense of the other (the host). In this case, the caterpillar is a parasite who feeds off the tree, acting as our host, with no benefit to the tree.
