Myrmecophilus pergandei is a species of insect commonly known as the Pergande's ant-loving beetle. It is a small, elongated beetle that measures around 5-7 mm in length. This species is known for its unique symbiotic relationship with ants, as it lives and feeds within ant nests. M. pergandei has specialized adaptations that allow it to mimic the scent and behavior of ants, enabling it to avoid detection and benefit from the resources provided by the ant colony.
