The single male mite mates with all his sisters when they are still inside their mother. The new females, now impregnated, eat their way out of their mother's body so that they can emerge to find new thrips eggs, killing their mother in the process (though the mother may be only 4 days old at the time), starting the cycle again.
Morphological, biological, molecular and ecological data has demonstrated that the dark and light "forms" of F. schultzei in Kenya are two distinct species. [2] Genetic analysis of F. schultzei in Australia shows that there are three highly divergent species of thrips under the taxonomic name "F. schultzei", and potentially at least six different species globally.

The generic and English name thrips is a direct transliteration of the Ancient Greek word θρίψ, thrips, meaning "woodworm". [4] Like some other animal-names (such as sheep, deer, and moose) in English the word "thrips" expresses both the singular and plural, so there may be many thrips or a single thrips. Other common names for thrips ...
Scirtothrips dorsalis, the chilli thrips [derivation 1] or yellow tea thrips, is an extremely successful invasive species of pest-thrips [1] which has expanded rapidly from Asia over the last twenty years, and is gradually achieving a global distribution. It has most recently been reported in St. Vincent (2004) Florida (2005), Texas (2006), and ...
For instance, western flower thrips are known to love pale roses with strong fragrances, but they aren’t as interested in scent-free, dark roses that produce tight flower buds. 9. Use Reflective ...
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. They fly only weakly and their feathery wings are unsuitable for conventional flight; instead, thrips exploit an unusual mechanism, clap and fling , to create lift ...
The eyes of the greenhouse thrips are in the form of compound eyes and are made up of 65–70 facets and H. haemorrhoidalis have three ocelli. [9] Another unique thing to the H. haemorrhoidalis is that they have asymmetrical mouthcones that contain an anteclypeus, labrum, labium, paired maxillary stylets and an unpaired left mandible that is ...
