Booklice and Barklicebug ID
I’m not sure what this is. Found them on an oak tree in my yard. In Houston, TX. Thanks

Hi James,
These are Bark Lice, Cerastipsocus venosus, but we like the common name Tree Cattle. The immature Tree Cattle are boldly striped black and yellow creatures without wings. Tree Cattle will not harm your trees as they eat lichens and fungus.
