Looks like Tetraleurodes to me too
limited genera on our oaks, and these aren't Aleuroplatus.

Whitefly does look good. Maybe Aleuroplatus?

Nice!
Well I'm satisfied just knowing what it is ;) If we can get to genus, it would be amazing!

Again, interesting.
I've been seeing many whiteflies recently. Will start looking for these.

Wow!
I'd guess a signet ring and sealing wax, but have a hunch that's not right. Quite an interesting discovery.

Hmmm
I'm intrigued. Odd that I spotted this one day after the Palm Aphid. Maybe once you memorize a shape, they start to show up in other places.

Well, at least my mind seems to work this way.
I believe you're correct, though. This one sure popped off the page for me, whereas the earlier one didn't. Figure inside looks like a stylized scorpion.

Well..
That just shows that you're the expert and I'm the fan. I saw the immature alien from the movie Alien ;)

Scary!
I'm a Scorpio. LOL!
