  1. myrmecophile

    A myrmecophile is an organism such as an insect, bird, or mammal that interacts symbiotically with ants, typically by residing within an ant colony for protection, food, or both. The term originates from the Greek words "myrmex" meaning ant, and "philos" meaning loving. These organisms have adapted in various ways to survive the defenses of ants and to be accepted by them in their colonies.
