Thrips have tiny wings that are very useless in flying over long distances. Those wings are almost vestigial.
Well now I am le bummed. Especially since I was considering moving my remaining plants to a different window that has a house ivy and an African Violet in it. And a tiny baby phal that is going INSANE with growth in that window. The rest of my plants are sort of sluggish and not doing well so I thought maybe it was the window's fault. But I don't want to infest other plants. *grumble*
