Pest Links: Thrips

Thrips, order Thysanoptera, are tiny, slender insects with fringed wings.

They feed by puncturing their host plant or animal prey and sucking up exuding contents. Certain thrips species are beneficial predators that feed only on other insects and mites -- from the University of California Statewide IPM Program
