    Cuties! Have you compared them to Pseudophilothrips sp., such as Pseudophilothrips varicornis? Posted 4 years ago

                  I'm also reading that it mostly occurs on the stems of hollyhocks, and this is definitely not that :D Trying to find out more! Posted 4 years ago

                    Hmm. Perhaps there is a similar species in that genus? But, maybe it's a different genus entirely. I did see some other red ones in my brief search, but the distribution was way off. Posted 4 years ago
