Though many are winged they are often reluctant fliers with a predisposition towards thunder storms as a suitable time of flight, hence they are called \'Thunder flies\' or \'Thunder Bugs\' in some places. Many occur in such large numbers that they are pests of commercial agriculture, however they are also important pollinators of the flowers they fed on, and Liothrips urichi has been successfully used to control a pest plant (Clidemia hirta) in Fiji. They are easily blown about on the wind and migration can occur in this way. Parthenogenisis (where ova develop and mature into female nymphs without fertilisation) may occur in some species. The word Thysanoptera comes from the Greek \'thysanos\' a fringe, and \'pteron\' a wing. The largest species occur in the genera Phasmothrips. Fossil thrips are known from only as far back in time as the Jurassic period, making them relatively modern as far as insects are concerned, as well as distinctly better survivors than the Dinosaurs. There are about 5,000 described species. ...\" \"...Many Thrips are ***pests of commercial crops*** mostly because they damage the flowers while they are feeding causing stunted and deformed fruits and or seeds, however some species (Thrips tabaci and Frankliniella sp.) also cause disease through transmission of micro-organisms such as spotted wilt virus, which has strains which can effect lettuce, pineapples, potatoes and tobacco. ...\" Otro ejemplo con ambos términos en español e inglés: \"...*****Orden Thysanoptera = trípidos, “thrips”.***** Desarrollo: intermedio (primeros dos instares “larva”, tercero prepupa, cuarto pupa, ...\" www.uprm.edu/wciag/anscience/ dpesante/4008/lab-10-clasi-2.PDF Reference: http://www.earthlife.net/insects/thysanop.html |
