User's notes

Possibly Idolothrips Spectrum, but this didn't appear on the drop down list during this upload. The Thrip was measured at 9mm length excluding the antennae. The final two images show the Thrip had 5 light-coloured parasites attached. These appear to be Ticks or Mites and on the same scale they are in the order of 0.2mm in length. They are covered under following sighting 4395854. The final image shows the underside if the Thrip.
