Tapeworms are an example of evolution leading to decreased complexity; by living in a host's gut they eliminate the need for a digestive system of their own. Natural selection doesn't increase complexity per se, rather it encourages changes that increase fitness regardless of complexity. As natural selection presumably started with organisms about as simple as possible, most of the beneficial changes happened to be in the direction of more complexity.
