Abstract
I observed that a Japanese White-eye Zosterops japonica sucked necter from extrafloral nectaries of the Terminalia catappa L. in the Bonin Islands. The extra-floral nectary secretes sugar water to establish the antiherbivore mutalism. In this case, the White-eye seems play as a opportunistic defender.
