THRIPS

Developmental Stages - Egg to Nymph to Pseudopupae to Adult, 10-15 days

Inspection - Flowers are preferred, but Thrips will also survive on leaves. Thrips prefer to be hidden within the buds, flowers, or developing leaves. Hot and dry conditions are best for development. Wet and cool conditions retard development.
