The research on the fauna of Thysanoptera was conducted in the city of Lublin (south-eastern Poland) in 2001. The thrips were caught by means of an entomological net in four plant communities (mainly in parks) in the city center and on the outskirts (ground cover in an oak wood). 41 species were collected, among them three rare in Poland. The study involved the qualitative and quantitative structure of assemblages, seasonal changes of the number of species and specimens, food preferences, the qualitative similarity of the fauna of thrips of the plant communities under research. The results of the research indicated that the fauna of thrips of green areas of Lublin was quite abundant and diversified, with dominating eurytopic species. It resulted from the poor floral diversity and the mowing of park vegetation, the influence of air and soil pollutions was also possible.
