What is a "mirid"?

A mirid is a type of insect belonging to the family Miridae. Mirids are small to medium-sized bugs with slender bodies and distinctively shaped antennae. They are found in a wide range of habitats, including gardens, agricultural fields, and natural ecosystems. Mirids feed on plant tissues, including leaves, stems, and fruits, using their piercing-sucking mouthparts to extract plant juices. Some species of mirids are considered beneficial as they prey on other plant-feeding insects, helping to control pest populations. However, certain mirid species can also be agricultural pests, causing damage to crops.
