There is an area of several miles with Colarado Spruce and White Pine decline. The White Pines have Eriophyid Mites and Pine Oystershell scale. The Spruces also have Eriophyid Mites and a scale that looks smaller and different than spruce bud scale. Any ideas?

Dear Chris,
We have tried several times to find information on Scale Insects that attack spruce, but to no avail. We could really use a Hemipteran expert to assist with this ID.
