Abstract
Two species of silver fly, Leucopis argenticollis and piniperda, from the Pacific Northwest (PNW) show promise as biological controls for Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (Adelges tsugae Annand; HWA), an exotic invasive species impacting Eastern and Carolina Hemlocks (Tsuga canadensis and caroliniana, respectively). To better understand the environmental conditions favoring Leucopis spp., this study will develop a habitat suitability model, validate the model in the PNW, and use it to approximate suitable ranges for Leucopis spp. in eastern North America (NA).
