Plant-parasitic hemipteran colony

Plant-parasitic hemipteran colony
Pickle Springs Natural Area, Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri, USA
December 28, 2007
Size: Colony length ~4in
I found this colony of plant-parasitic hemipteran insects on a small branch of a small hop hornbeam tree (Ostrya virginiana). As insects of this type go, the individuals are rather big. There was another colony on another branch in the same tree and some isolated scale insects above that colony. I didn't see any other colonies on any other trees in the area.
