Myrmecophilus

The genus Myrmecophilus (Orthoptera, family Myrmecophilidae) is a myrmecophilous cricket with sixty-three species distributed world-wide. The small wingless nymphs and adults are found in a variety of ant host nests. Very little is known about their biology, it is assumed that they obtain food from grooming ants or obtaining food during trophallaxis with ants. These crickets can not "sing" and avoid direct contact with ants as much as possible.

Myrmecophilus are mostly kleptoparasites and live within ant nests (Schimmer, 1909; Wetterer & Hugel, 2008; Stalling et al., 2021).
