Hi everyone! I've been scouring the willows, looking for Viceroy caterpillars to no avail. But I do keep finding these weird bugs. In some cases, they've infested the whole tree and I think that's discouraging the butterflies to lay their eggs. I just wondered what they were and if they're good, bad, or indifferent.

And I have no idea if this is related or if those things molt, but I also keep seeing these things alongside them.
