Virginia: thrips appearing early

Ames Herbert, Virginia Extension Entomologist, included the following note in last nights Virginia AG Pest Advisory:

"We caught an average of just over 50 adult thrips per sticky card this week, which is considerably higher than this time last year, or the year before. Adult thrips are crawling all over volunteer peanut plants. These early high numbers are most likely the result of the unusually warm May temperatures. How will the flight develop...we will keep you posted."
