There are many invasive species in the world. Invasive species is plants animals that are non-native to a location. (National Wildlife Federation) Invasive species can come from any place from around the world. Many people believed that the animals that are in the United States were always here but that is not necessarily true. A invasive species would be Bemisia Tabaci which is its scientific name but it is also known as the Silverleaf Whitefly. (National Agricultural Library) The original location of the silverleaf whitefly is India.
Silverleaf Whiteflies originated originally from the India. (National Agricultural Library) But now they are found in many places in the United States such as California, Arizona, Texas, Maryland and the District of Columbia.

The survival of the eggs when they are laid is mainly based upon the temperature, the amount of humidity and the type of plant they laid the egg upon. (http://ipm.ncsu.edu/AG295/html/silverleaf_whitefly.htm) They do not have to look for a mating partner because they are asexual reproducers. Asexual reproduction is when an offspring is risen from a single organism. The life cycle of a silverleaf whitefly is relatively very short. They are only in their eggs for approximately 10 days and they become an adult within the span of 16 days.

It varies because it depends on how the temperature is when they are going to lay their eggs.
