I have noticed these critters since I put the tree in the ground. It is a ficus benjamina and I have noticed that some of the new leaves are closing and turning brown. When I opened up the leaved, there were small larve wrapped in the leaf. After a few weeks, the larve are "transforming" into black insects that resemble scorpions only without the claws...can anyone tell me what these bugs are? Here is a picture of the closed leaves, can get a good enough picture of the bugs.
