What is a "silverleaf whitefly"?
A silverleaf whitefly is a tiny insect that belongs to the family Aleyrodidae. It is a common pest found in many regions worldwide, particularly in warm and tropical climates. The adult whiteflies have a small, moth-like appearance with powdery white wings. They feed on the sap of plants, including various agricultural crops and ornamental plants. The silverleaf whitefly is notorious for causing damage to plants by extracting sap, which can weaken the plant, stunt its growth, and even transmit plant viruses.
