Oh shit, it's #ThripsThursday!
I've seen these candy-cane-like thrips on silver maple a couple times. At least, I'm pretty sure they're thrips. If anyone has a better idea, suggest it on #iNaturalist?

Also, I love the idea of a wasp small enough to parasitize a #thrips egg.

#ThripsThursday is a thing. I am declaring it so.
I found these delightful little red thrips on fungi on a log in a school's community garden. Here's the iNat :inaturalist: observation: https://inaturalist.ca/observations/95399649

Second-instar nymph of Haplothrips subtilissimus inside a gall on dodder that was made by a weevil (it's complicated). I have no idea how it got in there. Maybe hatched from an egg inserted into developing gall by parent (thrips have serrated ovipositors). Species is reported to be predaceous on mites and various arthropod eggs but in this case perhaps was consuming the beetle or one of its ectoparasites (wasps). #thrips #Thysanoptera #entomology #insect #galls #nature
