The current leading biological control method of hemlock woolly adelgid is Sasajiscymnus tsugae, [originally called Pseudoscymnus tsugae]. [11] S. tsugae is a black lady beetle that is relatively host-specific, feeding only on three known aldegid species, including HWA.
Those treatments have not stopped the spread of the Hemlock woolly adelgid or address the root cause of it reaching Erie — climate change. We all need to do our part to address that.
Balsam woolly adelgid is an insect which devastated the high altitude spruce-fir forests in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee; Hemlock woolly adelgid is an insect that infests eastern and Carolina hemlock; Spongy moth is a defoliating insect that prefers oak, but feeds on hundreds of species
