These were side by side in a vee of my orange tree branches. Should have taken the picture first, but did not think of it until after I wiped them good with rubbing alcohol. Their backs were hairy, not cotton candy hairy, more like long straight bangs. Does that make sense? Probably not, but you can still see the white in the pic, it is just clumped together instead of flowing. They are orange underneath and have black legs. Alcohol worked well to kill them even though they were so much bigger then scale or mealy bugs. Hope someone can tell me what these are. I checked out my whole tree & there are no more.
Thanks!
