Fluffy, wool-like white wax over blue- or green-colored, one-fourth inch- (0.64-centimeter-) diameter insect bodies is the look of woolly aphids. The insects in question (Aphidoidea superfamily) prey upon nutrient-rich xylem and sugar-rich phloem, as expected of a plant sap-sucking aphid, but by way of the bark instead of the foliage. The waxy look vanishes when woolly aphids overwinter in bark cracks and crevices.

Do wasps live in a big group or a small group?

Wasps typically live in large groups, especially social species like yellowjackets and paper wasps, which form colonies that can number in the hundreds or even thousands. These colonies consist of a queen, workers, and sometimes drones. In contrast, solitary wasp species live alone and do not form groups. Overall, the social behavior of wasps varies significantly depending on the species.
