Need help Identifying this pest

[Jman]

I feel like I've seen this before but for the life of me i cannot remember what it is. It is feeding on a white pine that's about 25' tall. It has left sunken areas on the branches and the needles are thinning. Thanks in advance!

Bark Lice?

Pine aphid. They start to congregate this time of year to keep warm and mate.

Never ran across those before but I've seen the eggs along the needles. Acording to your sheet they don't seem to be much of a problem. Good stuff.

Awesome, I thought I knew that body type from somewhere. I had an email out to the extension and a master gardener identified it as a weevil. Which it clearly is not, that's an easy one because of the mouth part.
