Thripinae
The Thripinae are a subfamily of thrips, insects of the order Thysanoptera. The Thripinae belong to the common thrips family Thripidae and include around 1,400 species in 150 genera.
Notable members – some of them economically significant pests – are for example Anaphothrips susanensis, Megalurothrips distalis, Sciothrips caramomi, Scirtothrips dorsalis (chili thrips), Sorghothrips jonnaphilus, T. hawaiiensis, T. palmi (melon thrips) and T. tabaci (onion thrips).
The subfamily includes many pests, some of them invasive species. The chili thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis, is an Asian pest on many crops, including chili peppers, roses, strawberry, tea, ground nuts, and castor bean. The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, has recently expanded its range from western North America to large portions of Europe and Asia through the trade of greenhouse plants.

Throw A Penny
by: Bee GeesLittle child , I have found
If I stood up and looked around
I'd see a brand new face staring right back at me
I believe , I am sure
That I'm taller then I was before
Building a brand new bridge into sincerity
But it's the times like this , we must learn to grow
Throw a penny for my children , they are going down
When the light shines down much brighter , many souls are found
And can't believe what they're saying in the overground
Throw a penny for my children going down
Listen to the wise man as he breathes
He's really loving me (loving me)
He must be loving me (loving me)
At night I turn my face into the wind
And I whisper secretly , what means the most to me
And bring him close
Make it bad , make it good
Make it easy to be understood
I see a velvet day breaking across the sky
I believe , I am sure
I am taller then I was before
Building a brand new bridge
I know I'm gonna try
But it's the times like this , we must find out why
Throw a penny for my children they are going down
When the light shines down much brighter , many souls are found
And I can't believe what they're saying in the overground
Throw a penny for my children going down
Throw a penny for my children , for my children going down
Throw a penny for my children , for my children going down
Throw a penny for my children , for my children going down
