Hemlock Wooly Adelgid is a tiny little bug that has devastated the Hemlock population on the East Coast of the U.S. since it was introduced from Asia in the 1920's. If you have hemlocks nearby, you have probably seen the white puffs of their egg sacks at the base of the hemlock needles. Science Daily is reporting on the release of Laricobius nigrinus beetles into some Cornell reservations in an experiment to try and control the Adelgids. They say the beetles only prey on the HWA - and I hope they're right!

I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
I guess she'll die.
There was an old lady who swallowed a spider,
that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
I don't know why she swallowed the fly.

There was an old lady who swallowed a bird.
How absurd to swallow a bird.
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her.
