THE GREENHOUSE THRIPS OUT-OF-DOORS IN NORTH- 
EASTERN GEORGIA 
In August and early September the editor spent a fifteen days’ 
vacation in Rabun County, Georgia, mostly collecting thrips. The 
most surprising capture was that of Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis, 
the green house thrips, from a wild shrub growing along a 
stream near Clayton. With the exception of the southern end 
of Florida (about Miami) this insect, in the United States, has 
never before been taken outside of greenhouses or in the imme- 
diate vicinity of greenhouses during the summer. But there are 
no greenhouses within many miles of Clayton and no houses 
very near the place of capture. The place and circumstances of 
its capture leave no doubt that it is living out of doors there the 
year around and point strongly: to it being a native of the re- 
gion. 
Rabun county is in the northeastern corner of Georgia and 
this thrips was collected within seven miles of the North Carolina 
line and at an altitude of about 2000 feet. The vegetation and 
doubtless the climate of Rabun county is comparable to that of 
Southern Ohio. If this thrips can live out of doors in Rabun 
county, Georgia, it should, as far as cold is concerned, be able 
to do so over a large portion of the United States. 
It is, of course, more common in the tropics, and it is supposed 
to have been introduced into northern greenhouses on plants 
brought from the tropics. Evidently its native range extends 
much further north than we have hitherto suspected and, per- 
haps, instead of being imported from the tropics, it originally 
entered the greenhouses from some local wild host:
