Fossil Aleyroidea Aleyrodidae in Baltic amber. Aleyrodidae is one of the many important families we lack the time to study in ENY 3005. The whiteflies are minute (1 to 3 mm), soft-bodied insects that look like tiny moths. Wings are opaque whitish and covered with a whitish powder. The hind wings are nearly as large as the front wings, a good character for distinguishing them from aphids, psyllids and scales.
