Thrips nymphs and adults - Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis Alameda County, California, USA November 14, 2009
The same scene as in the preceding photo, just over two hours later. Photo taken at 12:16 p.m.
So what were herbivorous thrips nymphs doing in the moth eggshells when they had plenty of blackberry leaves to eat? Maybe this species isn't entirely vegan.
