  abstract = {{A}nt nests accommodate a diverse group of strictly associated arthropods. {M}ost of these arthropods are seldom observed outside their host nest, emphasizing significant gaps in our knowledge regarding their biology. {W}e recorded a series of field observations of lepismatid silverfish ({Z}ygentoma: {L}epismatidae) moving outside their usual <jats:italic>{M}essor</jats:italic> nest habitat in southern {S}pain and {F}rance. {W}e illustrate how they move between different nests and locate nests by closely tracking the foraging trails of their hosts. {A}dditionally, we confirm a prior observation that they can follow their host ants when they migrate to a new nest site. {O}ur observations offer new insights into the hidden biology and the intricate interactions of specialized arthropod symbionts with their hosts within a spatial context.},
