Summary[edit] Description: Infestation of hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae) near Painter Run, Sullivan County, within State Game Land 13. The hemlock woolly adelgid is an exotic insect pest that has wreaked havoc on forest and stream ecosystems across eastern North America. Small, white, cottony sacs at the base of the needles indicate the insects’ presence. At State Game Land 13, the infestation is extensive and severe in the low-elevation stream valleys. Along the West Branch Fishing Creek, however, the game commission has flagged some trees for insecticide treatment. Date: 28 December 2016, 12:26. Source: Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. Author: Nicholas A.
