whitefly
Sap-sucking insect
Whiteflies are tiny winged insects that feed on plant sap, typically found on the undersides of leaves.
Despite the name, they're not true flies but relatives of aphids and scale insects.
They're common greenhouse and garden pests, weakening plants and secreting sticky honeydew that promotes mold growth.
The tomatoes are infested with whiteflies.
