Thrips, probably a juvenile as the wings do not appear to be fully developed.

Hi Tony Irwin
This one is photographed a few days ago (12/07/2011), in the same environment on my terrace and I think should be the adult specimen.

Confirm it Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis ?.
Very grateful for your cooperation and help.

Best Regards

Your first picture is an adult Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis. (Paul was incorrect to suggest it was a juvenille. Juvenille thrips do not have wings. Thrips "pupae" - the pre-adult nymphs - do have long wing buds, but these are held out to the side of the abdomen, not laid along the mid-line.)
Your second picture is an adult Liothrips oleae or a related species.
Note: These are quite distinctive species - most thrips are not so readily identified! Wink
