However, the concept of predation is broad, defined differently in different contexts, and includes a wide variety of feeding methods; moreover, some relationships that result in the prey's death are not necessarily called predation. A <a href="/wiki/Parasitoid" title="Parasitoid">parasitoid</a>, such as an <a href="/wiki/Ichneumon_wasp" class="mw-redirect" title="Ichneumon wasp">ichneumon wasp</a>, lays its eggs in or on its host; the eggs hatch into larvae, which eat the host, and it inevitably dies. Zoologists generally call this a form of <a href="/wiki/Parasitism" title="Parasitism">parasitism</a>, though conventionally parasites are thought not to kill their hosts. A predator can be defined to differ from a parasitoid in that it has many prey, captured over its lifetime, where a parasitoid's larva has just one, or at least has its food supply provisioned for it on just one occasion.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-LaffertyKuris2002_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-LaffertyKuris2002-2"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Predation%27s_Boundaries.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Predation%27s_Boundaries.svg/330px-Predation%27s_Boundaries.svg.png" decoding="async" width="330" height="223" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Predation%27s_Boundaries.svg/495px-Predation%27s_Boundaries.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Predation%27s_Boundaries.svg/660px-Predation%27s_Boundaries.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="912" data-file-height="617" /></a><figcaption>Relation of predation to other feeding strategies</figcaption></figure> <p>There are other difficult and borderline cases. <a href="/wiki/Micropredator" class="mw-redirect" title="Micropredator">Micropredators</a> are small animals that, like predators, feed entirely on other organisms; they include <a href="/wiki/Flea" title="Flea">fleas</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mosquito" title="Mosquito">mosquitoes</a> that consume blood from living animals, and <a href="/wiki/Aphid" title="Aphid">aphids</a> that consume sap from living plants.

The decision depends on the costs and benefits involved. A bird foraging for insects spends a lot of time searching but capturing and eating them is quick and easy, so the efficient strategy for the bird is to eat every palatable insect it finds. By contrast, a predator such as a lion or falcon finds its prey easily but capturing it requires a lot of effort.

Prey that is too small may not be worth the trouble for the amount of energy it provides. Too large, and it may be too difficult to capture. For example, a mantid captures prey with its forelegs and they are optimized for grabbing prey of a certain size. Mantids are reluctant to attack prey that is far from that size.
