“Boogie-Woogie Aphid” is the nickname for the Beech Blight Aphid (Grylloprociphilus imbricator ). The branches of affected beech trees appear to be covered by snow. These aphids appear to shake and dance when disturbed, and they also produce large amounts of honeydew. This aphid excrement is plant sap that goes through the insect’s body, where amino acids and nutrients are extracted. The rest is expelled as waste onto the branches, leaves, and plants below. Fungi known as sooty molds then inhabi

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

Naturalist Nikki McClellan: "If you've been out in the Metro Parks this fall, chances are you've seen these little white creatures 'dancing' on the branches of American beech trees. These insects are beech blight aphids! They use their piercing mouthparts to suck sap from the tree branch, but this does not harm the tree. The funny little dance that we see is their defense mechanism. When disturbed they will raise their rear end in the air and sway. Insects that disturb the beech blight aphids wi

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

Yesterday's mystery dancers were beech blight aphids (Grylloprociphilus imbricator)! These tiny insects live in colonies and feed on the sap of American beech (Fagus grandifolia). The sight of hundreds of aphids blanketing branches may have gardeners wondering if they need to grab their insecticide or spray them off with water. Such a response usually isn't necessary, as even in heavy infestations the damage to the tree is minor. The "dance" featured in yesterday's video is actually defensive po

That's not fuzz on a branch -- those are Beech Blight Aphids - a piercing insect that uses its needle-like mouth to pierce plant material and suck out nutrients and chlorophyll. The nymphs clump together to resemble puffs of cotton to avoid predators. Adults grow wings and usually fly between two hosts. They are capable of producing several generations without mating - a process called cyclical parthenogenesis. The best way to control them is to introduce a wide variety of predators like lacewin
