Adult females of Thrips palmi Karny given 6 powdered sugars as a nutrient source and distilled water were able to survive for longer periods of time in the presence of each of the sugars than in the presence of distilled water alone. The results suggest that T. palmi is able to consume powdered sugars. The percentage of T. palmi surviving after 15 days was greatest with glucose at 56% followed by fructose at 40%, maltose, sucrose, and trehalose in decreasing order of survival. Raffinose had the lowest survival of thrips at 12%.
