How do I get rid of this small bug on my plants?
General
None Given
Hi guys - wonder if you can help us figure out what this particular bug on our plants are. We took some macro shots at 20 times magnification. They are very tiny, literally a hair's width.
We've found them on out all of our plants: kale, mustard, amaranth, nasturtium, a few scallions, a little bit on borage.
But the area on the plants they are most interested is the small tender shoots that are growing from the center of each plant. Those baby leaves are severely chewed through and do not developing well.
We've trimmed and pinch off a bunch of leaves already. Please help identify and advise how to get rid of them!!!
Thanks a lot!

There's also centipedes in our the soil (We have indoor potted plant). Do they help at all with killing these thrips? over 9 years ago.
