I was sure that bright sunshine on Gorse flowers in the #Suffolk #Brecks would bring out the inverts but could only find this tiny Thrips! #Thrips #Thysanoptera #WildWebsWednesday
🎄 #InsectAdvent Day 16 is for the tiny but mighty #Thysanoptera, pollinators, herbivores & important ecological players.
#FunFact: #Thrips are tiny - 1–3 mm long. Many feed on plants or fungi, & are much more ecologically diverse than their size suggests.

Close-up macro image of the same phlaeothripid thrips, focusing on the head and forelegs. The antennae are long and threadlike, the compound eye is visible, and the forelegs are robust with spiny projections. The thoracic armature curves outward just behind the head, and the specimen lies near the corner of the pale mounting surface.
Macro photograph of a preserved male thrips from the family Phlaeothripidae, viewed dorsally. The insect has a dark reddish-brown body with long, narrow, fringed wings folded flat over the abdomen. Prominent lateral projections extend from the thorax, and the forelegs are thickened and armed with visible spines. The specimen rests on a textured, pale card.
Phlaeothripid thrips showing elaborate thoracic armature and enlarged forelegs. These structures have a variety of functions from male competition to egg guarding. We still have so much to learn with critters of this size.🌿
