Keywords.- Evolution; selection; adaptation; genetics.
Abstract.- Myrmecophily is the association between ants and other organisms. These symbiotic relationships are varied and more or less exclusive or essential to the life of one or other of the partners. They are described here, with examples to illustrate the different associations.

This is the first in a series of articles intended as an exercise for orchid hybridizers and judges. The article is designed to be published on separate pages, so that one presents the riddle, and the other provides the answer. And, since it contains two different riddles, the article can be published in two batches without any problem.
In addition to being a practical article, it is visual, attractive, and colorful.
