Whitefly

Period: Eocene

Age: 50 million years

Region: Poland

Whiteflies rarely exceed 2
mm (0.079 inches) in length,
and at first sight the adult
form resembles a small but-
terfly. Whiteflies are not ac-
tually flies at all, though

their resemblance to them
gives them their name. This
life form is particularly
known for the damage it do-
es to orange trees. The fact
that this tiny creature has
come down to the present
day unchanged over the co-
urse of 50 million years is

proof that it never evolved.
