Something like a false flower. Is a flower that advertises it have a sweet reward for pollinating insects when it actually doesn't. The insect will come in thinking there is a nectar reward for it, but there isn't....but while it is there it picks up minute amounts of pollen which the insects will deposit the next time it is tricked into landing on the same species of flower. Therefore, the plant benefits, and no harm is done to the insect, maybe just a little frustration....

Remoras are the fish that stick onto the underside of sharks. They don't help or hurt the shark, but the remoras get transportation and they get to eat up the shreds of food in the water from the shark's feeding activities.

This is when one animal benefits while the other recieves no benefit not harm. For example mites that live on a damesfly.
