Bug Identification

[Naycha]

Found the first one chillin on my plant (outdoory), and the second while trimming. They don't seem to have done much damage if any. I've never seen them before and I'm just curious as to whether anyone knows what they are? Cheers

Adult whiteflies are tiny �white� flies that look more like moths than flies. They are covered with a white waxy substance and when they fly they can resemble tiny snowflakes. Clusters of whiteflies can be found gathered on the back of leaves.

 

How do you determine easily if you have a whitefly infestation? Well, if you move or water your plant and you see tiny bugs flitting around � resembling a snowstorm or a white cloud hovering over the plant � oh no � you�ve got whiteflies!

 

Damage

 

Whiteflies suck the sap out of your houseplants causing leaves to turn yellow, wilt and eventually fall off. They are not true flies but rather relatives of mealybug, scale and aphids (what a terrible family). Whiteflies also excrete a sticky substance that can result in the growth of mold.

 

The immature flies are called nymphs and suck plant juices right along with the adults.

 

Control

 

Whiteflies can be a little difficult to control because they seem to instinctively know when you�re getting ready to hunt them down. They leave the plant as soon as you try to spray them!

 

All joking aside, spray plant with a strong steam of water, wash with soapy water or with an insecticidal soap. Repeat process until there�s no more sign of this pest.

 

the bio-dynamic is the bets methord of control

 

Whiteflies multiply like crazy so get rid of them as soon as possible! The immature insects are scale-like and don�t move; this gives you an opportunity to work on eliminating them before they fly!

 

As an extra aid, you can also hang yellow sticky traps to attract adults.
