  1. woolly adelgid

    The woolly adelgid is a small, aphid-like insect native to Asia that is considered a significant pest in the United States due to its destructive impact on native Eastern hemlock tree populations. These insects secrete a white, woolly substance for protection, hence the name. They feed on the sap at the base of hemlock needles, which weakens the tree's new growth and eventually can cause the tree to die.
