My coleus is getting egg spirals which I think is a whitefly characteristic.
But, there are also lots of wispy hairs coming off mine.

If I let it go, the hairs will form a wispy blanket over the leaf. What is it?

Does this look like what you're experiencing? http://www.doacs.state.fl.us/pi/enpp/ento/giant.html

This would be closer to home. http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7400.html

That looks exactly like my coleus looked a few weeks ago. Thanks for the correct identification.
