"Adult whiteflies resemble tiny moths and are covered with a white waxy powder. They’re rarely more than 1-3 millimeters long and are typically found on the undersides of leaves. Immature forms have a scalelike appearance and are sometimes mistaken as scale insects." from: http://www.learn2grow.com

Thanks to Marcos Rafael Gusmão and Alexandre Berndt who help to identify the insect.

Okay, I'm not an Entomologist but I'm glad you agree.
