ABSTRACT
Thrips specimens were collected from 2004 to 2006 from the Herb Collection of the Faculty of Horticulture, the Agricultural
University in Cracow, Poland and from 2006 to 2008 from the Botanical Garden in Cracow, Poland. We collected 16,058 adult thrips
belonging to 22 Thysanoptera taxa from the flowers and inflorescences of 37 species of herbs from both of the collections. Thrips species composition infesting the flowers and inflorescences of herbs were very similar and not dependent on the plant species and the
area of research. Only the participation of particular species differed. The prevailing polyphagous species connected with flowers
were:
Thrips fuscipennis, Thrips flavus, Frankliniella intonsa,
Thrips albopilosus
and
Thrips major
.
Also, a high number of
Thrips tabaci
and
random species connected with grass as well as predatory species
Aeolothrips
were found. The flowers of
Salvia officinalis, Lavandula
angustifolia,
Nepeta cataria
and
Arnica montana
were the most numerously infested by adult thrips.
