Well, I went home at lunch today and was showing my boss some of the things I've been doing around the property. I mentioned that I thought something was wrong with my Cedar Elm because small clusters of leaves were starting to die at the tips of the branches.

He grabbed a branch and pulled it down and we noticed that there were little bumps all over the leaves. They are kinda hard and fuzzy. I brought a leaf back to work and had a co-worker take a picture. (Sorry it's not the best shot)

Has anyone seen anything like this before? If so, should I be really worried? The tree is about 25 years old and last fall I remember seeing web worm on some of the branches. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I was looking at the ziploc bag I have this leaf in and there are little itty bitty brown bugs in it???
