Living on or dwelling among flowers; relating to organisms that inhabit flowering plants.
From Latin flōs (flower) combined with -comous, from Greek -komos meaning 'living with' or 'dwelling among.' This technical term emerged in entomology and botany to classify organisms by their habitat.
Tons of tiny insects and mites are floricomous—they spend their whole lives inside flowers eating pollen and nectar! Some flowers have developed special shapes just to trap and feed their specific floricomous insect partners.
