K here is a picture of my sad little tree. He desperately needs help! Thank you for such helpful response so far!

So what happened to him? I think the combination of the pesticide and then putting him outside in the cold for a few hours caused him to wilt so rapidly and everywhere, but I'm not much of a plant person so I'm not sure. The stems and such are still green and squishy, not dry, and do not easily come off of the trunk when pulled gently - so are they still alive?

Update on Bugs:
Taking pictures tonight, I noticed a lot of the bugs looked fried and dead. Also, the bugs that are still alive (well, I'm guessing they are alive based on the pictures anyway) don't move when disturbed at all. I haven't really seen any of them move, actually, but my eyes aren't that great close up. I can say for sure that they do not fly about. I'll post another post with a new less blurry picture of the bugs.

Thank you so much for such a quick response!
