The western flower thrips [Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande)] is an invasive pest insect in agriculture. This species of thrips is native to the Southwestern United States [1] but has spread to other continents, including Europe, Australia (where it was identified in May 1993 [1]), and South America via transport of infested plant material. [2]
Flower thrips can be agricultural pests in either two species of thrips in the genus Frankliniella: F. tritici , Eastern flower thrips F. occidentalis , Western flower thrips
Some flower-feeding thrips pollinate the flowers they are feeding on, [41] and some authors suspect that they may have been among the first insects to evolve a pollinating relationship with their host plants. [42] Amber fossils of Gymnopollisthrips from the Early Cretaceous show them to be coated in Cycadopites-like pollen. [43]

They are sites where a female has oviposited into developing flower buds or fruitlets. Despite the cosmetic damage suffered by these light skinned apple cultivars they are seemingly unaffected by most thrip vectored viruses. Infested apples of the mountain west simply provide a natural setting for Western Flower Thrips to thrive and reproduce.
