A dragonfly resting on a tomato leaf, hopefully a sign of things to come, also hopefully without that tiny whitefly! Love that coppery colored abdomen.🌱🌿 #inverts
A green dragonfly with a shining coppery colored abdomen clings to the edge of a tomato leaf. There is one tiny whitefly also on the leaf. #gardening

What's that? The world is insane, but you need your wonderfully-alien-yet-beautiful critters?

Say. No. More. 😎

Welcome to the microscopic world of #whitefly pupae. Under your nose & on your plants, these tiny bugs are suckin' juices & lookin' snazzy [adults, not so much]

#Hemiptera #Aleyrodidae
Close up of a raspberry whitefly (Trialeurodes ruborum). It is a flat, shiny black, wrinkly oval with evenly spaced rays of white wax surrounding the body's edge. It's on a purplish red leaf. The insect in life is only a couple millimeters long. Close up of a whitefly pupa (Parabemisia myricae). It is a flat, shiny translucent green, wrinkly oval with evenly spaced flat rays of white wax surrounding the body's edge. It's on a green leaf. The insect in life is only a couple millimeters long. Close up of a whitefly pupa (Aleurochiton forbesii) from a maple bonsai. It is slightly raised off the leaf surface by wax like a small cake, and is brown and tan mottled with a roughened surface. It's on a greenish gray leaf. The insect in life is only a couple millimeters long. Close up of a whitefly pupa (Aleuroplatus). It is a flat, shiny black, wrinkly oval obscured by numerous wax plates coming out of the top, looking like white or translucent hard candy ribbons. It's on a green leaf. The insect in life is only a couple millimeters long.

Remember the clouds of Whitefly that plagued us last year. Well their back…

I tried hard to get both in focus but here you can see the hummer snagging a whitefly from the Wisteria. #birds

Whitefly, perceived as a pest but looking up close at them, they look quite pretty, like little fairies 🧚‍♀️

I photographed this beautiful spiral on the underside of a leaf in my garden (in San Diego). I believe it is made from eggs laid by the "spiraling whitefly".

Why is this pattern laid down, & why does this species choose to do this?

Bluesky people: anyone know please?

I walk past a patch of Greater Celandine growing in a little alleyway on my way to visit my mum. I check the underside of the leaves fairly often and today I finally got lucky - Horseshoe Ladybird! Poor phone pic as no camera today. #ladybirds #coleoptera
The pale green underside of the leaves of Greater Celandine, one with several Whitefly on it and a tiny little beetle. Close up of Whitefly on the underside of a pale green leaf with a Horseshoe Ladybird. The ladybird is about the same size as the Whitefly, it is dark brownish with a pale horseshoe shape on the wingcases.

A photo of a jade plant with a powdery white spiral on one of its leaves. It looks really cool, tho in reality it is whitefly eggs

I don’t care if it’s 1915 there is NO excuse for your whitefly slides to be this bad

French Marigolds are a game-changer for whitefly control! 🌼🚫They release Limonene, a strong scent that acts as a natural repellent. The aroma confuses airborne pests & "jams" their navigation, stopping them from landing on your prized veggies. 🍅

Project Animalia #673
Greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum)

A frequent garden "pest". They damage plants through feeding, but also by transmitting plant viruses.

My poor Alice is infested with whitefly!

The gentlest way to kill whitefly by far. Lightly singed my Alice petals but nothing compared to the guarenteed death other sprays have. Workin well and smell is manageable. I recommend this product on your most sensitive plants.

I work in landscaping. When a plant is utterly fucked we tell the customer it has whitefly. Sometimes it does, sometimes they just suck at caring for that plant.

America has whitefly I don't know what to tell ya, we should probably pull it out.

Still chopping things down in the garden, covered in sticky whitefly crap, got a dodgy eye and a dodgy foot and still not made it to the Shoes yet. Not at my best....

Another harvest of cav nero leaves from the allotment for tonight's dinner, they're absolutely pristine with no trace of whitefly or aphids thanks to the deployment of our tailored heavy duty fine mesh cover, I'll change it for standard bird netting to allow more light through at some point soon. 🌱
Some cav nero leaves being held above the bed from which they were harvested, a heavy duty fine enviromesh cover is in the background.

I went to photograph the first rose yesterday and it was a horror show 😱. Tried again today after washing them off with the hosepipe, that's better. Penelope. #GardensHour

A mainly green spider that has weaved its web across a rose leaf creeping towards a whitefly that has become caught in the web. The Spider is green with white patterning and the rose leaf is a mix of orange, red and yellow. The white fly is of course white:)
