Pameridea roridulae
Species of true bug / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pameridea roridulae is a species of jumping tree bug in the family Miridae.[1] It has a symbiotic relationship with Roridula, where it feeds on trapped insects and its excretions are absorbed through the leaves of the Roridula, giving the plant much needed nutrients and nitrogen.[2] Juvenile P. roridulae also pollinate the plant.[2]
