abstract: Thysanoptera occure in large numbers on many cultivated plants. Studies of Thysanoptera were conducted during the period May-July 2000 in the agricultural area of the village of Fajsławice in the Lublin Region. The insects were collected from Melissa officinalis and Thymus vulgaris with the use of Moericke's white and blue traps. A total number of 28 Thysanoptera species were collected, which constitutes 13% of the fauna of these insects in Poland; 24 Thysanoptera species were collected on thyme, and 22 on melissa. The numbers of Thysanoptera on melissa crop were twice as big in blue than in white traps. On thyme crop, the differences in numbers of insects in traps of both colours were very small.
