The MUTOS behavior combines aspects from various real-life insects * the male remains dormant for 15 years before emerging as a winged adult, similar to a periodical cicada. * the female is twice the size of the male but lacks wings, like fireflies and certain wasps. * they use long-distance mating calls, similar to crickets. * they grow and mature inside living hosts like endoparasitoid wasps do. * the female lays her eggs on a ready-prepared food source as flies and beetles do. * the courtship is somewhat like that of some spiders and mantises,where the male presents the female with a nuptial gift.
