Pine bark adelgid (unlike the notorious hemlock wolly adelgid) doesn’t typically harm healthy adult trees. Large infestations can make a tree’s trunk appear as if it was covered in snow.

Here’s an affected E. White Pine

I especially like the bird bard. That and the lizard remind of the Redwall book series.

I work in environmental conservation in freshwater habitat and also do art on the side. I cover a variety of subjects and mediums, but usually gravitate towards sciart and paleoart. πŸ¦πŸ¦•πŸŒ²

I mostly do traditional (and some digital) art, usually some flavor of Sciart or Paleoart.

Hi, congrats on the milestone.
I work in environmental science and dabble in art from time to time (mostly nature related).
