They're kind of quietly taking a toll on beech stands. In recent years, I helped on some joint habitat projects with the Wildlands Conservancy, PGC & RGS here in the Poconos and twice our job was to "hack & squirt" certain diseased trees and while doing this we encountered numerous beech trees covered up with these aphids.

We noticed them yesterday on the limbs of our beech trees. We've never seen them before. I read up some on them yesterday. Apparently, they have no long-term effects on the tree like the other blight. Is that correct?
