por este insecto.
Is one of the most common and injurious species of thrips in the Island
attacking a large variety of plants, shrubs and trees. When the insects
become abundant it causes a very heavy chlorosis on the leaves, which
makes these turn light brownish or whitish, sometimes giving a silvery
appearance to the foliage. This is especially noticeable on trees of “almendra”,
Terminalia catappa L. when they suffer from a heavy infestation.
