Did you know a female whitefly continues to feed as she lays eggs? This constant feeding results in her laying eggs in distinct spiral patterns on the undersides of leaves, a key identifier of this pest. Over her lifetime, she can lay about 500 eggs. With so much to do, it’s no wonder she doesn’t take a break! #whitefly #biocontrol #IPM #farming #greenhouse #agriculture #sustainablegrowing

I believe this is for Greenhouse whitefly which lay eggs in complete circles unlike tobacco whitefly(Bemisia tabaci)
