Hemlock hair, also known as hemlock woolly adelgid, primarily feeds on the sap of hemlock trees. This tiny aphid-like insect uses its specialized mouthparts to extract nutrients from the phloem tissue, which can weaken and ultimately kill the trees if infestations are severe. Their feeding can lead to tree stress, decline, and increased susceptibility to other pests and diseases.
