Haplothrips subtilissimus (Haplothrips subtilissimus)

Haplothrips CF. subtilissimus - Nymph Nicely (and conspicuously) coloured nymph of some Phlaeothripidae on Silene dioica, but I was unable to find a closer ID ...
Possibly something close to Haplothrips chinensis?

According to Manfred Ulitzka the colour patterns of the nymphs can be diagnostic ... I'll check with him ...

Manfred answered swiftly: It is certainly a Haplothrips sp. The similar looking H. chinensis is not known from Europe, but there are three native European species with similar nymphs. Of these, Haplothrips subtilissimus is the best match considering the exact colour pattern and known distribution. It is mostly found on Oak trees (Quercus) and there are some grand old Oak trees standing over the spot where I found the nymph (on Silene dioica), so that also seems to add up.
I'll be bold and "identify" this image under that name, mostly so that it is easier found back, but I'll leave a clear "cf." in the image title :o)

Appearance

The adults are mainly brownish-black with fringed wings. The second instar nymph is conspicuously banded red and white.

Behavior

This species is known as a predator of mites, mainly on Oak (Quercus) and other deciduous trees. Other prey is also sometimes listed, such as eggs of Psyllidae or Tortricidae.
