Greenhouse whitefly
A Hemiptera insect of the Aleyrodidae family. It is a serious pest that causes great damage to vegetables and flowers grown in greenhouses and greenhouses in Europe, North and South America, and other parts of the world. Native to the southwestern part of North America, it invaded Japan in the early 1970s, and spread rapidly from Hokkaido to Okinawa due to the movement of tomato seedlings and ornamental plants. It parasitizes a wide variety of plants, with over 200 host plant species recorded in North America and over 130 in Japan. It infests vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, pumpkins, and beans, and flowers such as poinsettias, fuchsias, pelargoniums, and lantana, causing large outbreaks.
