Synonyms

Ormia is a small genus of nocturnal flies in the family Tachinidae, that are parasitoids of crickets.

Flies in this genus have become model organisms in sound localization experiments because of their " ears", which are complex structures inside the fly's prothorax near the bases of the front legs. The most common and widespread species, Ormia ochracea, has been the center of this research. [6] [7] [8]
