Damn Thrips

[carnivorousplant]

Deceptively fluffy little bastards, sucking on my orchids.
I hunt them down every day with a Q-Tip soaked in alcohol, yet they keep coming back.
When one of my ineptly cared for orchids actually produces flowers, they attack the buds and blooms.
Bastards.

I'm Thorry to hear that.

I'll trade you my whiteflies for your thrips, even up, and I'll throw in a few mealybugs too.

There's a little parasitic wasp here that devours white fly. They are already at work on the Hibiscus that I took outside.

If those parasitic wasps over-breed, I hear aphids will eat them.

That's sort of like the Introduce-Bunnies-to-Australia-What-Can-Go-Wrong thing, isn't it?
