Whiteflies are tiny, soft-bodied insects covered in a powdery white wax coating. Despite their name, whiteflies are not true flies. They belong to the order of Hemiptera, making them close relatives to aphids, mealybugs, and scale insects. If you notice a cloud of tiny white bugs flies up when you touch your plants, or you see white winged bugs on the underside of leaves, whiteflies are most likely the culprit. These pests can quickly become a problems because they feed on plant sap, which weakens your plants health. Like aphids and mealybugs, whiteflies produce honeydew, which leads to black sooty mold and attracts ants. Beyond physical damage, some whitefly species, especially the silverleaf whitefly, are capable of transmitting over 100 plant viruses. Whiteflies can spread viruses like tomato yellow leaf curl, which makes them devastating in gardens and crop fields. Whiteflies thrive in warm, humid conditions and are most active during late spring and summer.
