Odo Morannal Reuter (1850–1913) was a Swedo-Finnish zoologist and poet.

He was born at Turku on 28 April 1850 and died there on 2 September 1913.

Reuter became a student at the University of Helsinki in 1867, and gained an MSc in 1873 followed by a PhD in 1877, when he became an associate professor of zoology. He formally retired in 1910 due to long-term health problems.

Reuter was a hemipterist, a specialist in plant bugs.[1] He coined the term "parasitoid" to describe the way of life of species such as many wasps which feed on but do not immediately kill their prey.[2]
