two-tone thrips - Bolothrips bicolor
Copyright © 2007 Jim McClarin

two-tone thrips - Bolothrips bicolor
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
April 19, 2007
Size: about 2.2 mm
This is one of at least two thrips species found so far among thousands arthropods by pawing and sifting through flotsam from a substantially swollen catchment basin after several days of heavy, non-stop rain. I've never seen one with this color pattern or with such a wide, flattened abdomen.
