Don't know what this is. I found it on a very small (3-4") flowering weed. Its not a springtail, just another one of the tiny insects that I find, that I cannot find a reference to.

Ah! So that is what it is. Why is it that I search and search and never can find these things out for myself.
Thanks Tom!

Hi ya' Ken,
Best regards as always, my friend
Don't worry about it, Ken. I have an advantage in that I took an entomology class in college. That and we have a ton of citrus trees around our place that have massive invasions of thrips when the trees bloom.Why is it that I search and search and never can find these things out for myself.
Best regards as always, my friend
