Anyone else experiencing loads of Whitefly on the wing this afternoon?

They're thousands here in West Yorkshire, every spider web in the garden is packed with them.

    I've seen clouds of them too here in Essex today - didn't notice any yesterday.

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Apparently the same thing happened last year about this time in parts of the country.

    Maybe the warm temperatures have caused a mass hatching.

    I think I remember that.
    I was pottering earlier and there were masses of them appearing from nowhere
