Thanks Cliff, it is good to get a new family represented in BugFiles. I have added your Thrip here: http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/7393/
Let me know when you have added your image(s) and I will select one to represent the family in the index,

Ken

I added the only image that I have which was incidental to another bug being photographed. Not a great shot. Very small bug at about 2 mm. Lucky that it was almost in focus.

Thanks Cliff, I have used your image to illustrate the family. I have also used it to replace the previous image illustrating the Thysanoptera Order, as it shows a thrip more clearly than the previous image,
