Dudley Moulton
Dudley Moulton (28 December 1878 – 5 July 1951) was an American entomologist who specialized in the study of thrips while working as an entomologist on quarantine duty and later in administration of the department of agriculture in California. Moulton was born in farming family in San Jose. He received an A.B. (1903) and M.A. (1906) from Stanford University, studying under Vernon Kellogg. He then worked as an entomologist for Santa Clara County for a couple of years before working for the quarantine department at San Francisco. He took an early interest in the pear thrip in 1904 at a time when it was a serious pest and later maintained an interest in thrips outside of his main professional work and asked his colleagues to collect for him. In 1909 he became Deputy State Commissioner of Horticulture for California. In 1931 he became director of the department of agriculture for the state of California. His thrip collections, which were finally placed in the California Academ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aeolothripidae
The Aeolothripidae are a family of thrips. They are particularly common in the holarctic region, although several occur in the drier parts of the subtropics, including dozens in Australia. Adults and larvae are usually found in flowers, but they pupate on the ground. While they normally prey on other arthropods, many feed also on flowers.Mound, L.A. (1977).

Thrips
Thrips ( order Thysanoptera) are minute (mostly long or less), slender insects with fringed wings and unique asymmetrical mouthparts. Different thrips species feed mostly on plants by puncturing and sucking up the contents, although a few are predators. Entomologists have described approximately 6,000 species. They fly only weakly and their feathery wings are unsuitable for conventional flight; instead, thrips exploit an unusual mechanism, clap and fling, to create lift using an unsteady circulation pattern with transient vortices near the wings. Many thrips species are pests of commercially important crops. A few species serve as vectors for over 20 viruses that cause plant disease, especially the Tospoviruses. Some species of thrips are beneficial as pollinators or as predators of other insects or mites. In the right conditions, such as in greenhouses, many species can exponentially increase in population size and form large swarms because of a lack of natural predators ...
