What is another word for Family Adelgidae?
Pronunciation: [fˈamɪli ɐdˈɛld͡ʒɪdˌiː] (IPA) 
The Family Adelgidae includes small, soft-bodied insects that typically feed on conifer trees. The group, also known as the Adelgids, is comprised of species commonly referred to as woolly adelgids, pine aphids, and spruce gall adelgids, among others. These insects can cause significant damage to their host trees, leading to growth stunting, needle loss, and even death. Due to their ability to rapidly reproduce and spread to new areas, adelgids are of great concern to foresters and conservationists. Effective management strategies such as early detection, biological control, and chemical treatments are essential for protecting conifer ecosystems from the destructive impact of adelgids.
