Oncidium Yellow Bugs = Thrips: Eggshells Help, But Spray First

Bug ID: Thrips

Tiny, yellow, fast, chew leaves → silvery patches. Not from eggshells (calcium source, harmless).

Crush fine, sprinkle, water in. Tiny calcium boost per watering. Helps roots long-term. Not pest-related.

Spray for thrips NOW. Eggshells optional later.
