Couple different critters I found on a sickly looking birch today that I can't find in my books. The round, ladybug looking critters seemed to have their heads buried in the tree like a tick in a dog. Pretty well dead once i pulled them off the tree. They would stand straight out of the tree till you ouch their abdomen which then curled down. Anyone recognize them?
