Thrips of California 2012
Helping distinguish pest species among California’s rich thrips fauna
This new version includes much additional information with many new images, and replaces the original 2008 version that was revised in 2009. We have recorded four further species known to breed in California and have added another 24 species that are known from Pacific territories, particularly Hawaii, or the Carribean region, and are regarded as potential invaders to California.
