 Whitefly, FSM Minimize

May 2005. A new white fly for the Federated States of Micronesia. The pupae of the fly are yellow to light brown and oval in shape. The eggs are in laid in circles. The host is an ornamental, Ixora.

A very similar looking whitefly was seen during the SPC/CSIRO/ACIAR Pacific-wide whitefly survey in 1996/1997, but it was not sure where it was found. The 'circular' pattern that is formed as the female deposits the eggs is very noticeable.
