insect honeydew makes leaves shine cars a mess Are you one of the many who has noticed a sticky substance on cars garden furniture shrubs plants or tree leaves If you re wondering what this is it is honey dew according to experts at the University of The Free Press was contacted by Marge Murray on Church East this week about Ihc shiney sticky stuff on the leaves of a number of her maple trees and the reporter quickly spotted the substance as the same thing he d seen on his own car the past couple of weeks and had heard many local people grumbling about Alerted to the signs It was easy to spot trees showing the symptoms all over town A call to the University Pest Diagnostic and Advisory Clinic solved the mystery It seems insects called are on the or leaves of the various types of Norwegian Maple trees around town sucking the plant sap out These small pale green bugs concentrate the plant sap in their guts according to Hick The nutrients from the sap are stored while the rest is out their hind ends he ex plained adding the droplets of concentrated sticky substance is called honey dew This situation isn t new it happens every town and there is considerably more honey dew shining on leaves and dropping on cars because June cool allowed the bugs build up in population much more quickly than usual In addition tree and insect secretions are more prevalent In varieties also this The and honey dew something to be worried about he said The trees don suffer too badly and besides the bugs will be killed in the next few weeks by parasites and A lot of these sticky leaves seem to be lying on the ground more have fallen than would be normal Some have blown off more easily in the wind because they are heavy with the honey dew A good scrubbing will take the honey dew off cars or
