Abstract:
Hemlock woolly adelgids (HWAs) are an invasive species first found in the eastern United States near Richmond, Virginia. They first arrived in North Carolina in 1995. They target some of the most important trees in the Great Smoky Mountains. A current line of defense has been the use of predator beetles from Japan , which only eat HWAs.
