Ormia ochracea lays its eggs on crickets, which hatch into larvae that eventually make a meal of their host.
The flies were introduced to Hawaii around 1989 and began targeting the Pacific field crickets.
The wing shape of some male crickets rapidly evolved, giving them an unusual purring or rattling call.
Researchers measured how flies’ hearing neurons responded to specific sound frequencies.
