Giant Pine Aphid? - Cinara

Giant Pine Aphid? - Cinara
Montrose, Laurens County, Georgia, USA
December 22, 2009
Size: approx. 5mm
I found this guy on the side of a pine tree. After looking around in aphids, I can't find anything that visually matches it. I cheated on these shots by brightening them a bit for clarity's sake.

To quote the Guide...
"If it's big, and on a conifer, it's probably Cinara," so that'll be my guess until an expert sets me straight. :)
