Garden Pests and Diseases: White flies on Virginia Creeper, 1 by Soferdig

No leaf-hoppers here. Yes I know that that is the most common parasite of the grape family. But these are white flies. Almost invisible in flight but swarms when you disturb the vine. My big worry is why doesn't the white fly parasitize the rest of the garden? The V creeper is healthy happy and mature. I think my fertilizer is a partial cause. I tend to place large amounts of compost around it. I must stop.
