Thrips (likely a thrips nymph)

Plants, especially on leaves, flowers, and buds; some species also occur in leaf litter or soil.

Most feed by scraping plant surfaces and sucking out cell contents; a few are predatory.

Slender, fast-moving insects; many species develop through egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages, with pupation often in soil or leaf litter.

Plant-feeding species can scar foliage or flowers and some transmit plant viruses. Predatory species help suppress mites and other small pests.
