Myrmeciza is a genus of birds belonging to the family Formicariidae, commonly known as antbirds. These birds are primarily found in the tropical forests of Central and South America. They are known for their unique behavior of following army ants to catch insects and other small prey that are flushed out by the ants' movements. Myrmeciza species are typically small to medium-sized, with a variety of plumage colors, often featuring browns and grays that help them blend into their forest surroundings. Their vocalizations are distinctive, and they are known for their secretive nature, making them challenging to observe in the wild.
