GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK
Hemlock Wooly Adelgids Swarm on Mt. LeConte

Here’s what a swarm of those merciless, tree-murdering hemlock wooly adelgids looks like (when they are lying dead in a sandbox on Mt. LeConte). Disgusting, and yet, the good news is that these are dead. Photo by Allyson Virden
