Switching escape strategies in the parasitic ant cricket Myrmecophilus tetramorii by Ryoya Tanaka, Yuki Mitaka, Daigo Takemoto, Mitsuhiko P. Sato, Azusa Kamikouchi, Yoshinori Suzuki

“…Although escape behaviours are considered an important part of these multipronged strategies, little is known about the repertoire of potential escape behaviours and how they facilitate integration into the host colony. Here, we investigated the escape strategies of the parasitic ant cricket Myrmecophilus tetramorii Ichikawa (Orthoptera: Myrmecophilidae) toward its host and non-host ant workers. …”
