Campyloneura Virgula
''Campyloneura virgula'' is a species of true bug, bugs in Miridae family. It is the only species in the genus ''Campyloneura'' Fieber, 1861. Description ''Campyloneura virgula'' can reach a length of . Adults have pale translucent hemelytra, a red stripe on the edge of a pale green pronotum, a yellow scutellum. a black head, long red-banded antenna (biology), antennae and bright yellow cuneus that are tipped with dark red. Legs are pale yellow. Nymphs are yellow, with a red stripe on the edge of the pronotum. Biology and ecology This common predatory bug hunts for small insects, as aphids and red mites. Adults' flight time is from July to October during which they could be found on numerous deciduous trees, including hazel, Crataegus monogyna, hawthorn and oak. The adults overwinter and nymphs appear in May. The peculiarity of this bug is that in almost all of its range males are extremely rare, as ''C. virgula'' reproduces without mating (parthenogenesis). This characteristic ...

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. Conservation status Since it is ...

Helopeltis
The genus ''Helopeltis'', also known as mosquito bugs, is a group of Heteropterans in the family Miridae (capsid bugs) and tribe Dicyphini. They include important pests of various crops, including cacao, cashew, cotton and tea. Now in a different subgenus, a number of similar ''Afropeltis'' species are pests in Africa. Mosquito bugs have a characteristic spine on the scutellum, which is a diagnostic feature. Classification in the field is based on morphological characteristics, with considerable variations in colouration between insects of the same species (although for example, ''H. theivora'' is characteristically green and ''H. antonii'' red-brown). Damage and distribution With typical Hemipteran sucking mouthparts, they pierce plant tissues and cause damage ranging from leaf tattering and fruit blemishes, to complete death of shoots, branches or whole plants. There has been evident speciation along the islands of the Malay archipelago and there may be cryptic species in thi ...
