- Thrips is a collection of images of these amazing insects. Most of the photos were taken in the alpine at about the 2,500 ft level on September 24 in Juneau, Alaska.
- In this area they were very abundant inside the flowers of Broad-petaled Gentian. Apparently these thrips live their entire life inside these flowers and near the plant.
- They are probably very important for cross-pollination of these plants.
