Hi, these look like insects rather than spiders. Unless I’m seeing them poorly they appear to have 6 legs and 2 antennae. They look like they have the three-part bodies of insects rather than the two-part bodies of spiders. They may be in a young developmental stage that isn’t as recognizable as the adult form. I used Google Lens on the photo, I suggested Giant Willow Aphids. The photos looked similar, that might be a direction to continue your search. Bugguide.net is a great volunteer resource for assistance in identifying insects.
Hi, to be honest, I don’t know if these are insects or spiders. I’ve google it as spiders and as insects as well but couldn’t find anything like/about these.
Any advice?
Thanks for your help.
By the way, are hundreds of them and are on a pine tree and a substation wall next to the tree, they are moving slow and doesn’t look dangerous.
