Bemisia tabaci
silverleaf whitefly or sweet potato whitefly
Bemisia tabaci is one of several species of whitefly that are currently important agricultural pests.The silverleaf whitefly thrives worldwide in tropical, subtropical, and less predominately in temperate habitats. Cold temperatures kill both the adults and the nymphs of the species. The silverleaf whitefly can be confused with other insects such as the common fruitfly, but with close inspection, the whitefly is slightly smaller and has a distinct wing color that helps to differentiate it from other insects.
