    "#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."

    Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) thriving in Hickory Run State Park, PA. So great to see big, healthy #hemlock trees at least for now untouched by #HemlockWoollyAdelgid! #hickoryrunstatepark #Pennsylvania #forest

    #Ovenbird and #RedEyedVireo singing conspicuously in the background.

    Sorry that I'm whispering but there's a reverence that automatically takes hold of me when I'm in nature.
