that literally means ‘fringed wings’, and refers to the eyelash-like fringe of hairs along both edges of the thin wings. There are more than 6,000 known [...] aerial parts of the plant and are fairly mobile. Immediately after hatching, the larvae begin to feed on plant tissue on the underside of the leaf. The [...] both pairs of wings are fully developed. Only at this stage can the particular species of thrips be identified based on form, colour and pattern of hairs.
