Bark Lice




A few weeks ago, my grandsons and I were exploring and came across this very strange group of bugs. We took a picture and then came home to research on the Internet.  These tiny creatures bark lice are also called cattle lice, not because they get on cattle but because they travel in herds.  They don't get on humans, some have wings and others don't, and even though they make webs on the trees, they don't do any damage to the tree.  Below is a   YouTube video that is fun to watch.  When one moves, they all move!
