First report on honeydew excretion by the melon thrips, Thrips palmi karny (Thysanoptera : Thripidae) and its biochemical analysis

Sap sucking insects like thrips, aphids, mealybugs, whiteflies exploit the sugar rich phloem for growth and development. The excess sugar in the phloem sap creates osmotic imbalance leading to loss of water from haemolymph to gut lumen. In order to maintain osmolarity, sap sucking insects have devel...
