Caliothrips fasciatus (Pergande, 1895) - (bean thrips)
This thrips is native to the Americas, but has been also reported from other regions or intercepted by quarantine. Some of those records require confirmation. It is highly polyphagous, the crops most commonly injured are beans, cotton, and pears. The adults and larvae feed on the leaves and other parts of the host plant. On navel oranges they can hide at the apex (navel) of the fruits and then pose a quarantine risk (e.g. Harman et al., 2007).
Adults are 1½ to 2 mm long, dark grey to black with white sections on the wings and legs. The sides of the abdominal tergites have a reticulate sculpture (see illustration below).
