纓翅目(Thysanoptera)源自希臘語“thysanos”，意思為「邊緣」，以及“ptera”，意思為「翅膀」，指的是具有濃密長毛邊緣的細長翅膀。

Greek Origins of Name: Thysanoptera, derived from the Greek “thysanos” meaning fringe and “ptera” meaning wings, refers to the slender wings that bear a dense fringe of long hairs.

生態與棲息地 Habitat & Ecology

陸地棲息地，主要發現於花朵、葉片、真菌、水果和苔蘚中。

Terrestrial habitats, mostly found on flowers, leaves, fungi, fruits, and in mosses

食性 Diet

一半的細蠹以真菌（如菌絲或孢子）為主食，其他則以花朵或綠葉為主食，極少數會以小型節肢動物為主食。

Half of the population feed only on fungi like hyphae or spores. Others feed on flowers or green leaves, and very few of them feed on small arthropods

小知識 Fun Fact

薊馬不會經歷變態，僅有三個明顯的發育階段：卵、若蟲和成蟲。許多細蠹物種展現出複雜的行為模式，包括打鬥、社會性（某些個體降低自身的繁殖潛力來抚養他人的後代）和競偶場（在競偶場上的群集展示）。

They don’t undergo metamorphosis. They only have three distinct developmental stages: the egg, nymph, and adult stages. Many thrips species exhibit complex behavioral patterns including fighting, sociality (in which some individuals reduce their own lifetime reproductive potential to raise the offspring of others), and lekking (a communal breeding display on a lek).
