The flies in the picture below are very small, about 1-2mm long. They are attracted to light and many times I find them dead around the light bulb or beneath it. Here, they are beneath a banana frond. They seem to have some white threads coming out of their bodies. Magnified at nearly 1:1, pictured in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

These insects belong to Hemiptera. It is a species of Aleurodina. Maybe Trialeurodes sp.? Regards Patrycja |
