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 : Scirtothrips dorsalis

Other names : Yellow tea thrips

Pale yellow thrips about 1.2 mm long, native to Asia and spreading rapidly worldwide over the last twenty years.

Its host range is very wide: pepper, eggplant, mango, citrus, strawberry, grapevine, cotton, tea, peanut, rose, litchi and mangosteen.
