 Females of this species are able to locate singing male "Teleogryllus oceanicus" crickets using a hearing apparatus evolutionarily convergent to "T. oceanicus" females.Once the singing male has been located, the female fly lays eggs on and around the male cricket, allowing her larvae to burrow into the host.The larvae eat and grow inside the cricket, emerging roughly 7 days later to pupate, killing the male cricket in the process.
