Ok so now that we know how does thrip damage look, let's see the Frankliniella occidentalis, aka Western Flowers Thrips himself.
First, a leaf with initial damage, easy to recognize due to the silverish brights on the leaf surface. If you detect the pest at this very initial stage you are already winning the battle. Spray neem oil or potassium soap and repeat a few days later. Or spray once and next day introduce natural predators Amblyseius swirskii
Second picture is a young thrip. See the green stuff in his guts! Sucker!
Third picture is an adult.
And forth picture, the best F. occidentalis picture you will ever find.
This one is by Dr. Ulitzka R. Manfred @thysanoptera, the wise man behind a website called thrips-id
https://www.thrips-id.com/en/frankliniella-occidentalis/Some facts:
- They go through several stages, on one of those early stages they stay on the soil, which make them harder to annihilate
- If you are going to fight them with chemicals: Acetamiprid
- They are not a critical issue for big plants but can ruin cloning/nursery areas.
-They originally come from California
- They are a vector for plant viruses.
Guess who made this...
