When threatened (in this case by us flicking the branch they were feeding on), woolly aphid nymphs wave their abdomens and the waxy protuberances they produce back and forth. These aphids are feeding on American Beech (Fagus grandifolia), and are likely nymphs of Grylloprociphilus imbricator, the Beech Blight Aphid (http://bugguide.net/node/view/240499).
Sorry Miley, but insects have been twerking for millions of years!
