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

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

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
