Parasitism

Parasitism:
The picture shows a leaf that was used as a food source by an insect, my guess a caterpillar. The caterpillar and leaf have a parasitic relationship. This symbiotic relationship is defined by one organism benefiting while the other organism is harmed. To connect back to the photo the leaf is being harmed while the insect is benefiting by getting food. Therefore, this is a photo that reveals parasitism in the real world.
