Female ant cricket from Santa Barbara County, California. These crickets are closely associated with ants. They copy the movement rate of their adopted ant hosts and take on the odor of the colony until the ants accept them as members. In the colony, they lick ant secretions, prey on ant eggs, solicit regurgitated food, and feed on prey brought in by the ants.
