Pameridea roridulae is a species of jumping tree bug in the family Miridae. 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.{{Cite web |title=Roridula gorgonias {{!}} PlantZAfrica |url=http://pza.sanbi.org/roridula-gorgonias |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220411085859/http://pza.sanbi.org/roridula-gorgonias |archive-date=2022-04-11 |access-date=2022-04-11 |website=pza.sanbi.org}} Juvenile P. roridulae also pollinate the plant.
