Any idea what these white bugs are? They seem to be doing the nasty and munching on my tree. What no movie?

These are blunt-nosed/short-snouted weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae; subfamily Entiminae); the 'leaf-notching' feeding pattern is typical for this group. They seldom cause much damage through this feeding, but the larvae of some species (such as the black vine beetle and strawberry root weevil) can be serious garden/agricultural pests by feeding on the roots of plants.

Cool! Thank you! Glad I have the white variety and not the black!
