为了阐明昆虫与腺植物的特定关系，研究了一种植物错误和野生杜鹃花之间的关系。本文报道仅在大萼杜鹃（RhododendronmacrosepalumMaxim.）（杜鹃花科）在日本中部的京都。大萼杜鹃的叶、茎和萼片上有密集的柄状腺体，可以诱捕和杀死许多节肢动物。然而，尾背潜蝇的幼虫和成虫能够在大萼红蜘蛛上自由活动。后藤小食心虫常以捕集在大萼红蜘蛛上的各种节肢动物的尸体为食，而很少以植物组织为食。在实验室条件下，五背角萤叶甲主要以昆虫尸体为食，这可以提高五背角萤叶甲的生长和变态速度，并且当提供昆虫尸体时，五背角萤叶甲成虫的寿命更长。这些观察和实验表明，O. gotoi是一种食腐动物。因此，如果后藤O. gotoi主要以节肢动物的尸体为食，这可能导致对腺植物的特定依赖（© 2006 The Linnean Society of伦敦，Biological Journal of the Linnean Society，2006，88，593-602）。
To elucidate the specific associations of insects with glandular plants, the relationship between a plant bug and a wild azalea was examined. The plant bug Orthotylus gotoi Yasunaga (Hemiptera: Miridae) was found only on shrubs of Rhododendron macrosepalum Maxim. (Ericaceae) in Kyoto, central Japan. R. macrosepalum has leaves, stems, and sepals with dense stalked glands that trap and kill many arthropods. However, nymphs and adults of O. gotoi are able to move freely on R. macrosepalum. O. gotoi frequently fed on carcasses of various arthropods trapped on R. macrosepalum, whereas it rarely fed upon plant tissues. In laboratory experiments, O. gotoi nymphs mainly fed on the carcasses of insects, which resulted in enhanced rates of growth and metamorphosis, and adult O. gotoi lived longer when they were provided with insect carcasses. These observations and experiments suggest that O. gotoi is a scavenger. Therefore, if O. gotoi mainly feeds on carcasses of arthropods, this may result in a specific dependence on the glandular plant. © 2006 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2006, 88, 593–602.
