"Flies of the family Tachinidae parasitize on in many orders of insects. When searching for a prey, they are often guided by her communication signals. It is shown that the vibration signals of Hemiptera changes in the search behavior of flies , increase they activity. Noises arising from the movement of flies on the plant did not affect the activity of bedbugs. Infected individuals of Pentatomidae retain acoustic activity but their signals can significantly change their amplitude-time structure compared to control."

Key words: Diptera, Tachinidae, mutual eavesdropping, host-parasitoid interaction
