Kakothrips pisivorus (
Westwood, 1880)
|
Kakothrips pisivorus, or the pea thrip, is a species of thrip native to Europe which lives in the flowers of peas and other legumes causing damage to the pods inside as they are developing. [1]
The pea thrip is a brown insect 2 mm in length with two pairs of feathery wings and yellowy legs. It feeds on the fruit of many legumes, including the pea plant, from which it takes its name. [1] These thrips are generally identified by the damage done to pea pods as their larvae eat them. [2]
