Seen recently while hiking the NCT — APHIDS! Beech Blight Aphids (Grylloprociphilus imbricator) are insects that feed primarily on the sap of American beech trees. The aphids form dense colonies on small branches and the undersides of leaves. The aphids themselves are a light bluish color with bodies covered with long, white, waxy filaments giving them a woolly appearance. They first become apparent in July and as populations continue to grow they become increasingly noticeable. Very high number

Cool Beech Blight Aphids party. They are crazy little creatures that jump up and down when you get near them. I first saw them in the woods here about 11 years ago, and my dad’s first time seeing them today. As their name suggests, they like to gather on beech trees. | Meteorologist Ben Pine
