Whiteflies are common pest insects found on cotton,tomato,poinsettia,and many other plants.Nymphs are translucent and mostly sessile,feeding on their host plants' phloem (sap) from the undersides of leaves.They undergo incomplete metamorphosis into winged adults.In many species that undergo metamorphosis,adults and juveniles consume different food sources.However,because adult and nymph whiteflies feed in the same manner from the same host plants,why might whiteflies undergo metamorphosis?
A) Adults are winged so they can escape predators more easily.
B) Adults are winged so they can feed more efficiently.
C) Adults are winged so they can retain moisture better in dry habitats.
D) Adults are winged so they can find mates more easily.
