The biology of Vestigipoda is still poorly understood, but they are highly derived and specialized for posing as ants and living inside ant colonies. Their eggs closely resemble the eggs of their hosts. Adult females are legless, wingless, and mimic the host larvae. Adult males are not yet described, but exist and are presumably winged.
