This tree has balls of bark or something attached to its bark on many of the branches. I am looking to identify this bug. You can see there are many bugs together at the end of the branch. The bugs have a couple of antennas, tiny hair like strands, about 2-3 cm in length on each bug. The main body section has black and yellow horizontal stripes. They have wings. I do think they closely resemble Tree Cattle or Cerastipsocus venosus. http://msue.anr.msu.edu/news/tree_cattle_causing_undue_conce... there is a link to some information on them. I am happy with that result.
