Pameridea roridulae : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pameridea
''Pameridea'' is a genus of insects comprising two species, ''P. roridulae'' and ''P. marlothii'', that live in symbiotic relationships with carnivorous plants in the genus ''Roridula''. ''Pameridea marlothii'' only occurs on ''R. dentata'', while ''P. roridulae'' exists on both ''R. dentata'' and ''R. gorgonias''. ==Life cycle==
''Pameridea roridulae'' can only live on ''Roridula'', where it feeds on insects that the plant captures with its resin-tipped trichomes.〔Voigt, D. and Gorb S. (2008) An insect trap as habitat: cohesion-failure mechanism prevents adhesion of ''Pameridea roridulae'' bugs to the sticky surface of the plant ''Roridula gorgonias''. The Journal of Experimental Biology 211, 2647-2657. 〕 After devouring the captured arthropods, bugs in the genus excrete waste, which the plant absorbs using glands, making it an example of symbiosis. ''Pameridea'' also mates while on the plant, and hatchlings continue to live on the ''Roridula'' plant.
