A whitefly is a small, sap-sucking insect belonging to the family Aleyrodidae. They are common plant pests, often found on the undersides of leaves. Imagine them as tiny, flying vampires 🧛 sucking the life out of plants! They weaken plants, cause discoloration, and spread diseases. Their name comes from the white, powdery wax covering their wings. Whiteflies are notoriously difficult to control due to their rapid reproduction and resistance to insecticides. They're like the cockroaches of the garden – persistent and adaptable.
