Several species of wasp kill other organisms to lay their eggs in but are not considered true parasites. Why do you think an organism like this isn't considered a true parasite?

Answer:

This is because parasites do not actually kill their hosts, which makes them not a true parasite even if they benefit while the host is harmed.
