(From Wikipedia) Thrips (order Thysanoptera) are minute (mostly 1 mm (0.039 in) long or less), slender insects with fringed wings and unique asymmetrical mouthparts.
FACT: Unlike the direct propelled flight of most insects, thrips use a unique "clap and fling" technique that generates strong vortices in the air!
