Aleyrodidae, on Common Goldenrod

Aleyrodidae, on Common Goldenrod
100 Acre Wood, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
September 7, 2020
August 30, 2020: found this in a moth rearing jar on Common goldenrod, either Tall or Canada, Solidago sp. Moved to it’s own jar.
September 10, 2020: adult

Eyes as per Wikipedia: “.. many have a distinct constriction between the upper and lower halves of the compound eyes in both sexes. In some species there is a complete separation. The degree of separation is useful in recognizing the species..” Obviously I've not paid very close attention.
