Arthropods associated with sloths
A large number of arthropods are associated with sloths. These include biting and blood-sucking flies such as mosquitoes and sandflies, triatomine bugs, lice, ticks and mites. The sloth’s fur forms a micro-ecozone inhabited by green algae and hundreds of insects. Sloths have a highly specific community of commensal beetles, mites and moths. Species of sloths recorded to host arthropods include:
* Pale-throated three-toed sloth Bradypus tridactylus
* Brown three-toed sloth Bradypus variegatus
* Linnaeus's two-toed sloth Choloepus didactylus
