Thrips (genus)
''Thrips'' is a genus of insect, insects in the order thrips, Thysanoptera. Ecology Species in the genus ''Thrips'' feed on pollen, and can be major pest (organism), agricultural pests, with several being vector (epidemiology), vectors of tospoviruses. Etymology The name ''Thrips'' comes from the Ancient Greek language, Greek word meaning woodworm. Diversity ''Thrips'' is the largest genus of thrips, with over 280 species, most of which are found in Europe, Africa and the Mediterranean Basin. Other species occur on each of the continents, including one species described from Antarctica. ''Thrips'' includes the species of thrips most frequently intercepted at port of entry, ports of entry into the United States, ''Thrips tabaci, T. tabaci''. The following species are recognised: *''Thrips abyssiniae'' *''Thrips acaciae'' *''Thrips addendus'' *''Thrips alatus'' *''Thrips albogilvus'' *''Thrips albopilosus'' *''Thrips aleuritis'' *''Thrips alius'' *''Thrips alliorum'' *''Thrip ...

Thrips Tabaci
''Thrips tabaci'' is a species of very small insect in the genus ''Thrips (genus), Thrips'' in the order Thysanoptera. It is commonly known as the onion thrips, the potato thrips, the tobacco thrips or the cotton seedling thrips. It is an agricultural pest that can damage crops of onions and other plants, and it can additionally act as a Vector (epidemiology), vector for plant viruses. Description In some populations, nearly all onion thrips are female, and males are very rare. The adult onion thrips is some long. The body is some shade of yellow, yellowish-brown or brown; the antennae have seven segments, the wings are well-developed and females have an ovipositor at the tip of the abdomen. Distribution and host range The onion thrips is thought to have originated in the Mediterranean region but is now found on all continents except Antarctica. It infests a wide range of Host (biology), host plants that include onion, leek and garlic, brassicaceous plants such as cabbage, cauli ...

Thrips Alni
Thrips ( order Thysanoptera) are minute (mostly long or less), slender insects with fringed wings and unique asymmetrical mouthparts. Entomologists have described approximately 7,700 species. They fly only weakly and their feathery wings are unsuitable for conventional flight; instead, thrips exploit an unusual mechanism, clap and fling, to create lift using an unsteady circulation pattern with transient vortices near the wings. Thrips are a functionally diverse group; many of the known species are fungivorous. A small proportion of the species are serious pests of commercially important crops. Some of these serve as vectors for over 20 viruses that cause plant disease, especially the Tospoviruses. Many flower-dwelling species bring benefits as pollinators, with some predatory thrips feeding on small insects or mites. In the right conditions, such as in greenhouses, invasive species can exponentially increase in population size and form large swarms because of a lack of ...
