Originally described from the Canary Islands.<\/p>\n

Distribution:<\/strong> Bolothrips insularis<\/em> is a predominantly Mediterranean species. Its currently known distribution extends from the Canary Islands in the west, across the Mediterranean region, to Syria in the east.
\nBolothrips insularis<\/em> lives mainly close to the ground, at the base of grasses and among dead plant material. Like other members of the genus Bolothrips<\/em>, it feeds on fungal spores found on decaying vegetation. The species is therefore not directly associated with particular host plants, but rather with habitats that support suitable fungi.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1485700945543{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]References<\/strong><\/p>\n
