Tiny bee-like insects - Cerastipsocus venosus near New Ulm, Blue Earth County, Minnesota, USA July 16, 2006 Size: less than 1/8 inch
Please help identify these tiny insects. They are very small insects that I found in large groups on the trunk of a Norway maple, mostly near the ground. The insects' heads are light-colored (almost translucent) with long antennae. The bodies are horizontally striped in yellow and black (somewhat like the back-end of a bumblebee). They do not fly. When slightly disturbed, the groups crawl around as a unit and move very quickly.
