And even "studying" them
What's the origin of these annoying flying insects
Let's find out

It mostly occurs in spring and summer, and prefers yellow-green
According to experts
This unidentified flying insect is called a thrip.
There are also in the south and the north, mostly in spring and summer
The environment of 20°C is more suitable for growth
It is the size of a bean and has a slender body
There is also a hook on the pointed tail
There is a very strong smell after pinching to death
Thrips love yellow and green
It is more lethal to plants
You can reduce the wearing of yellow and green clothes
It's scary
Some people were bitten by thrips after that
There is a strange itching phenomenon
Thrips can cause itching in humans, but they are harmless
尽管蓟马"恶心、甩都甩不掉"
But it is not harmful to the human body
It's just a little sore and itchy after being bitten
It does not suck the blood of animals
If you get bitten by a thrip, just chase it away
At the place of the sting
Just apply wind oil essence or body lotion
In particular, it needs to be reminded of:
Once the flying insect gets into your eyes, don't rub it casually
Because the insect feet have barbs
Easy to cause
Conjunctival edema of the eyeball, exfoliation of the corneal epithelium
Tears can be used to rinse or blink more
But because thrips like
Yellow, green, silver-gray, etc
So in recent times
Wear less clothes of this color
Other than that
Due to the greater lethality of thrips to plants
Always have some pesticides at home
Spray the greenery weekly if necessary
Why yellow and green clothes are more attractive to small flying insects
This starts with the tropism of insects, which is the movement of insects to a certain stimulus in a tendency or back, simply put, insects will fly in the direction of the environment that attracts it, such as temperature, light, chemicals, etc., there are thermotaxis, phototaxis, chemotaxis and other habits.
Many insects are migritistic to certain colors. Aphids, thrips, small green leafhoppers, whiteflies, whiteflies, spotted divers, yellow bending beetles, mushroom (xùn) mosquitoes and other pests are sensitive to yellow and have very strong yellowing.
Get rid of thrips and remember these four tricks
1. Some people may have allergies due to being crawled on their body by small bugs, remember to shake it off directly, and don't slap the bugs.
2. When small flying insects get into the eyes by mistake, it is recommended not to rub the eyes and wash them off with water.
3. Try to avoid wearing yellow and green clothes.
4. The green plants on the balcony can be controlled by hanging the yellow sticky insect board 10 cm above the plant, spraying soapy water, and pruning the brown "dumpling-like" gall.
As the temperature gradually rises
Mosquitoes start to become active
Some bugs still have to be extra careful
Improper handling can even lead to serious consequences
