Abstract

Bittersweet nightshade, Solanum dulcamara L. (Solanales: Solanaceae), was sampled at numerous locations in Washington and Idaho. Adults of 8 species of thrips (Thysanoptera) from 3 families were collected, including the worldwide plant pests Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) and Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thripidae), which are vectors of the serious plant viruses in the genus Tospovirus. Aeolothrips fasciatus Hinds (Aeolothripidae), a predator of small insects, also was collected.
