 Exotic Insects in Florida   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Homoptera have contributed the largest number of species to the immigrant flood, followed by Coleoptera and, all out of proportion to the size of the order, Thysanoptera.
There are non-biological factors that can affect these figures, as the advent of Thrips palmi in 1991 and Toxoptera citricida in 1995 prompted intensive survey efforts for thrips and aphids, respectively, and produced many new state and country records.
The proportion of Coleoptera is roughly the same, but the proportion of Homoptera has risen dramatically, while the proportion of Lepidoptera has plummeted.
