What is a "citrus whitefly"?

A citrus whitefly is a small insect that infests citrus trees and other plants, feeding on their sap and causing damage to the leaves and fruit. It is named for its pale, white-colored wings and body, and it can be a significant pest in citrus-growing regions, affecting the overall health and productivity of the trees. Control measures are often employed to manage citrus whitefly populations and minimize their negative impact on citrus crops.
