Hi @Thrips_iD we stumbled across three other Thrips sp. specimens. One of them we most likely would ID as T. pillichi, but the two others? Any feedback is much welcome :)
Currently cataloguing Thysanoptera (thrips) diversity in Luxembourg. Any idea @Thrips_iD which (Aeolothrips?) species those two specimens are? #pollinators
Thank you Denis Klein @museedesmines for the invited visit yesterday. Looking forward to our potential collaboration with Lucie Majerus @MinettUnesco on subterranean life

Wow, just wow. The planet is breaking. Antarctic sea ice extent is the headline for me this morning. There was actually a net *decrease* in ice extent day over day, and it's mid-winter there, peak freeze season. Extent is now 6.4 standard deviations below the 1991-2020 mean.
In our sandfly workshop organised by @naturmusee and Vectornet, the participants from BeNeLux + France and Spain, just did the first recording of Phlebotomus in Luxembourg @ECDC_EU
