 M. hirsuta and M. inquilina are the only known species in this genus that are inquilines and live in other Myrmecia colonies . An M. inquilina queen has been found in an M. vindex colony . Myrmecia is a larval attendant to the butterfly <unk> <unk> ( saltbush blue ) , while some species , particularly M. nigrocincta , enslave other ant species , notably those in the genus <unk> . M. nigriceps ants are able to enter another colony of the same species without being attacked , as they may be unable to recognize alien conspecifics , nor do they try to distinguish nestmates from ants of another colony . <unk> <unk> and M. brevinoda share a form of symbiotic relationship known as <unk> , where one species of ant will live with another and raise their young separately , with M. brevinoda being the host . Solenopsis may sometimes nest in Myrmecia colonies , as a single colony was found to have three or four Solenopsis nests inside . <unk> beetles and rove beetles in the genus <unk> dwell inside colonies and skinks and frogs have also been found living unmolested within Myrmecia nests . <unk> <unk> , for example , has been reported living inside M. regularis colonies .
