Thrips from Chinese tallow tree - female

Thrips from Chinese tallow tree - Female
New Orleans, uptown, Orleans Parish, Louisiana, USA
October 1, 2009
Size: ~1mm
This is a thrips that we've been finding on tallow leaves, and in the leaf mines and rolls associated with our Caloptilia sp. nov. caterpillars.

This is a composite photo, I just focused incrementally and then stacked the photos. I know I did an amateurish job, but i'm an amateur, so there you go!
