Genus Adelges is a group of insects that are commonly known as woolly aphids. These pests are known for their ability to produce large amounts of waxy material that cover the branches and twigs of their host trees. This material protects the insects from predators and can provide them with a food source during harsh winters. Synonyms for Genus Adelges include woolly adelgids, spruce gall aphids, and pine woolly aphids. These insects can cause significant damage to their host trees, often leading to stunted growth and even death. Effective pest management strategies can help control the spread of these pests and preserve the health of affected trees.
