Scales? - Chionaspis
Montrose, Laurens County, Georgia, USA
December 29, 2009
Size: less than 1mm
I found these and others on pine tree needles. My uneducated guess is these are scale insects of some type. If the bloody wind dies down some, I might be able to garner a few better shots tomorrow.

Well, Charley, you
certainly didn't waste any time.:-) Thanks for being on the ball. Unlike me. Phone line was wasted by a work crew all day.
