What’s fluffy, white, and likes to throw a dance party with thousands of friends? The boogie-woogie aphid! Also known as the beech blight aphid, these native insects drink beech tree sap.

If you're headed into the woods this Halloween, keep an eye out for some ghostly fuzzy white and scary black beech tree branches in the woods! The white "fuzz" is actually throngs of tiny insects feeding on the sap of the beech tree. The fuzz grows on their posteriors and they waive it about when feeling threatened. It's quite a sight.
