aleyrodidae
Whiteflies are tiny insects that love to hang out on the underside of leaves. They can look like little white dots fluttering around plants!
Lebensraum: Whiteflies are commonly found in warm, sunny areas, often on plants in gardens and greenhouses.
The Whiteflies are tiny, soft-bodied insects, typically 1-3mm long, distinguished by a powdery white wax covering their bodies and delicate wings. Their four wings are held tent-like, giving them a frosted, almost moth-like appearance that sets them apart from other small flies.
