hemiptera nymphs? - Cerastipsocus venosus Strafford, Strafford County, New Hampshire, USA July 27, 2006 Size: 1/8"
I found a grouping of these on a white ash tree. They were somewhat in even lines and when I lifted the branch to get a better look they hurried away in a processional line - fast! I was able to knock some into a container. They have VERY long antennae! Tried some online searches, but no luck, so once again I turn to you! I am guessing some hemiptera due to their gregarious behavior, but found no eggs. I would like to raise them for a while to observe, but not sure what they eat. They do not seem interested in the foliage.
