Orius insidiosus, common name the insidious flower bug,[2] is a species of minute pirate bug, a predatory insect in the order Hemiptera (the true bugs). They are considered beneficial, as they feed on small pest arthropods and their eggs.[3][4] They are mass-reared for use in the biological control of thrips.[5]
