棉铃虫幼虫在有蚂蚁的蜂群中比在无蚂蚁的蜂群中更容易被发现。幼虫OFP。黄褐斑因其不同寻常的形状、不显眼的动作以及可能的化学伪装而免受黑猩猩的发现。蛹被BYL攻击。尼日尔，但被它们浓密的毛发保护着。成虫也受到攻击并做出反应，要么逃跑，要么将身体紧紧地压在植物表面。四龄幼虫在有蚂蚁参与的蜂群中觅食时，捕获大型猎物的成功率较高，并因成虫体重较高而受益。在无人看管的群体中取食的个体的幼虫寄生率高于在有蚂蚁看管的群体中取食的个体。
Larvae of the coccinellidPlatynaspis luteorubra were found significantly more often in ant-attended aphid colonies than in unattended colonies. The larva ofP. luteorubra are protected against detection by the antLasius niger by their unusual shape, by inconspicuous movements, and presumably by chemical camouflage. Pupae were attacked byL. niger but protected by their dense hair cover. Adults were also attacked and responded either by fleeing or by pressing their body tightly against the plant surface. Fourth-instar larvae foraging in ant-attended aphid colonies had a higher success rate in capturing large prey items and benefitted from this by higher adult weights. Larval parasitism was higher in individuals feeding in unattended than in ant-attended colonies.
