Caption
Because camel crickets are small, it is very unusual that they can swallow the seeds together with their food. However, like for other parasitic plants, Balanophora subcupularis seeds are tiny and robust, and many survive the passage through the cricket’s digestive tract unharmed. Pictured is a camel cricket’s dropping containing Balanophora subcupularis seeds.
