Thrips

Identification :

Thrips are tiny insects that can damage plants. Most thrips are less than 1/20 of an inch long, so they’re not easy to spot with the naked eye. Instead of spotting the thrips themselves, you’re more likely to notice the damage they cause to both indoor and outdoor plants.

Important information:

Female thrips can lay eggs with or without mating, a process known as parthenogenesis. Thrips hatch from eggs in a larval form and continue to mature. The reproduction process is very fast, so multiple generations can hatch in a single season.
The larvae of thrips are long and slender and lack wings, though they can feed as larvae.

Colored spots on leaves → white
Stunted growth → buds (flower/leaf)
Curly, waffled, crumpled → leaves
Carrier/vector for – plant virus, fungal diseases (tomato spotted wilt virus)
