About
A tiny woolly aphid-like insect that induces distinctive pineapple-shaped galls on Norway spruce twigs. The galls form when the insect's feeding causes abnormal growth of developing needles.
Did You Know?
The pineapple-shaped galls are formed by modified needles that swell and fuse together, creating chambers in which the adelgid nymphs develop protected from the environment.
