Strange tiny bugs

Strange tiny bugs that crawl around inside my habanero flowers, very VERY small, so small I had to use a macro lense and these things are small enough to run inside the grooves in your fingerprints! Some have wings, others dont.

I have bugs similiar to those and at the moment i am studying them...they are very interesting.

They are called "thrips" and they are very very bad for the plants they are on, they can't do much to a large plant, however they will devour a seedling before it has a chance to get big. They scrape the underside of the leaves, causing areas of leaf to die and if they do this to a young leaf, the leaf will grow all mutated.

Kill them all if you have the chance :)

@Doom2pro i was picking flowers today and i came across the same kind of bugs, at first i thought they were maggots because the look like a tiny worm but i looks closer and found they have legs

@NukeCount25 Yeah they have wings too, and are a very bad sign for the plant they are on!

I thought they are harmless...but i will kill them, cause i've got lots of plants. :) Thanks for the advice!
