Insects threaten hemlock trees
BOSTON — Insects barely visible to the human eye threaten to destroy thousands of majestic bird species. New England, entomologists say.
The Associated Press
The hemlock woolly adelgid is moving north from Connecticut, and scientists are scrambling to find something that will stop it.
The pest "has the potential to kill tens of thousands of hemlock trees over time," said Robert Childs, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
'There are stands in Connecticut now where you can pick out the hemlocks in the picture, because they're all standing dead. It's pretty dramatic.'
- Robert Childs
Robert Childs Robert Childs, an entomologist
"There are stands in Connecticut now where you can pick out the hemlocks in the picture, and you'll find the landing dead. It's pretty dramatic."
The adelgid blew into New England from the mid-Atlantic states on the winds of Hurricane Gloria in 1965. Since then it has destroyed thousands of hemlock evergreens in Connecticut.
Insecticides can kill the bug, but only if hemlocks are saturated with chemicals – not an easy feat and covers of acres of trees. Childs said.
Infestations have been found in Massachusetts as far north as Springfield and Waltham, Childs said.
Researchers are experimenting with insecticides that can be injected into trees.
The minuscule aphid, believed to originate in Asia, fells the mighty evergreens by sucking them dry of their sap.
They secrete a cottony white substance, in which they lay their eggs. The substance, found on the fine, lacy branches of the hemlocks, is a sure sign a tree has been infested.
"It looks like someone took thousands of Q-tips, cut the ends off and glued them to the small branches," said Robert Moore, an entomologist at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station in Windsor.
