Word origin

Borrowed from translingual Miridae.

Used in a sentence

  • Mirids continued to be underappreciated as predators even after several species had been used successfully in classical biological control in the 1920s and 1930s.
  • Green mirids may be present at any crop stage from seedlings to podding. Mirid populations are typically low during the vegetative phase, but can increase rapidly after budding as a result of in-crop breeding.
