Inquiline (an organism that lives inside another organism)
Inquiline - Wikipedia
It doesn't live inside the creature. They live in the nest, burrow, or dwelling place of an animal of another species at the same time as the creature.
No, it can also refer to shrimp that live in a clam, or mosquitoes in a pitcher plant. So it can also refer to truly inside another organism
But are those examples really 'inside' the other organism in the sense of infiltrating living tissues? There may be nuance there,
