Redbanded thrips

Insect — Thrips (Thysanoptera)

What is an opportunist?

An "opportunist" is a population (fungi, bacteria, insects…) that takes advantage of a favourable environment to settle in, multiply and feed on it. It often develops when the natural defences of the affected organism are weakened — for genetic reasons or linked to context (water stress, deficiencies, nutritional imbalances, overcrowding…). This is typically the case in monocultures, where a single host plant, uniform and present in large numbers, offers ideal ground for it to spread.

Identification key : Thrips (Adult (and nymphs resembling the adult))

Scientific name : Selenothrips rubrocinctus

Other names : Cacao thrips

Dark thrips whose larvae carry a conspicuous red band at the base of the abdomen, described from the West Indies and now almost pantropical. It lives in colonies on the underside of leaves of cocoa, mango, avocado, cashew, mangosteen and rambutan, which turn silvery or bronzed and become spotted with droplets of excrement. Mangosteen is listed in the EPPO database as a major host.

Crops affected : Avocado, Cashew, Cocoa, Eucalyptus, Grapevine (36 varieties), Guava, Kiwi, Lychee, Mango, Mangosteen, Nursery roses and shrubs, Oak, Papaya, Rambutan
