#Maine [and #NewEngland] - Help Track a #Hemlock Pest

February 26, 2026

"#HemlockWoollyAdelgid (#HWA) is an #aphid-like invasive insect that feeds on and can kill hemlock trees in Maine. To find HWA, look:

- On hemlock trees. In North America, HWA is found only on hemlock trees.
- On the undersides of hemlock twigs. At this time of year, HWA is covered in white tufts of wax and is easy to see. Look for discrete 'woolly' masses.
At fallen twigs on top of the snow, as this will give you a picture of what is happening high in the crown. Unless you are in an area where HWA is commonly found (such as southern coastal towns), please let us know if you find it.

Wikipedia: "Accidentally introduced to North America from Japan, HWA was first found in the eastern United States near Richmond, #Virginia, in 1951. The pest is now found from northern #Georgia to coastal# Maine and southwestern Nova Scotia as well as areas of western #Michigan near the eastern #LakeMichigan shoreline. As of 2015, HWA has affected 90% of the geographic range of #EasternHemlock in North America."

@ezlin

Thank you! I'm still workshopping names for her superhero persona. But every single part of that outfit, cape and visor included, have a very practical reason for being there, and that's one of the things that makes me happiest about this story:

#Joan's "#superman-ness" comes about as a result of an #FFXIV narrative and only draws inspiration from #DC rather than pulling whole cloth from it. For far longer than she's had these powers, Joan has been very much a lover of trust, justice, and the Gridanian way (respect/reverence for nature).

They even share a few titles. Like, it's wild that Joan is the Last Daughter of #Hemlock, a small town destroyed in the #calamity which only one other person survived (her baby brother). Not unlike the Last Son of #Krypton and his cousin Kara Zor-El! 😹
