Thrips

medium risk Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Sep, Oct

Thrips are minute, slender insects with fringed wings and unique asymmetrical mouthparts. Different thrips species feed mostly on plants by puncturing and sucking up the contents, although a few are predators. Entomologists have described approximately 6,000 species.

How to scout

Tap a flower or young leaf over a white sheet of paper and watch for the tiny slender insects that drop onto it.

Action threshold: Spray when 8-10 thrips are found per leaf.
