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.

What’s fluffy, white, and likes to throw a dance party with thousands of friends? The boogie-woogie aphid! Also known as the beech blight aphid, these native insects drink beech tree sap. As nymphs, they flock together for protection and waive their woolly posteriors in unison to befuddle would-be predators.

If you're headed into the woods this Halloween, keep an eye out for some ghostly fuzzy white and scary black beech tree branches in the woods! The white "fuzz" is actually throngs of tiny insects feeding on the sap of the beech tree. The fuzz grows on their posteriors and they waive it about when feeling threatened. It's quite a sight. In fact, the behavior is so noteworthy it landed them the nickname "boogie-woogie" aphid. As they feed they secrete a sweet "honeydew" that attracts a black sooty
