look like tiny white moths and are about 1/20" long. They live on the undersides of leaves where they lay eggs. They flutter about when the plant is disturbed. The eggs appear as white flat patches and take 8 to 15 days to hatch. The larvae eat the undersides of the leaves. Adults can excrete a sweet liquid, which can cause the growth of a black sooty mold. Extreme infestations will cause leaves to wither and drop. Adults are attracted by sticky yellow and blue traps found at garden stores. These are good for early detection. Control with the following sprays listed from the lowest ecological impact to the highest: water jet spray, alcohol spray, insecticidal soap spray, liquid rotenone/pyrethrins spray. A light horticultural oil is effective against the eggs once the adults are under control. Concentrate sprays on the undersides of leaves. The last 3 sprays mentioned are all found in garden stores.
