Illinoia liriodendri
Pest description and damage Tuliptree aphids are about 0.1 inch in length, green to pinkish, elongate soft-bodied insects with long legs. They form clusters of aphids of various sizes on the undersides of the leaves, especially at the tips of branches. The terminal shoots become dull as nitrogen is removed by these sucking pests. They are noted for producing copious amounts of honeydew that coats underlying vegetation.
