Sweet pics.
The only genus I know of that has those thick siphunculi sticking out to the sides like that is Drepanosiphum. Pretty sure its Drepanosiphum plantanoidis, 3 species occur in the US and the other two are only recorded from the western half of NA. Any maple or sycamore trees nearby?

Yes...
We have a sycamore maple in our front yard and our driveway is lined with smaller maple trees.

Thank you for the ID.
