context_page_description: Paraneoptera is a monophyletic superorder of insects.
  It includes four orders, the bark lice, true lice, thrips, and hemipterans, the true bugs.
  The mouthparts of the Paraneoptera reflect diverse feeding habits. Basal groups are microbial surface feeders, whereas more advanced groups feed on plant or animal fluids.
context_section_description: Order Thysanoptera includes 5,500 species classified into two suborders. These insects are called thrips.
  The mouth is in the form of an asymmetrical mouth cone, consisting of piercing stylets. Thrips are commonly found on and in flowers. Most species are phytophagous, feeding on flowers.
