Very creepy. Almost yikes creepy. Someone with a MPE65 would have had a field day.

Infesting a stretch of bamboo trees but never seen on any other or maybe not looking closely enough.

Wondering what they are.

1. As seen by roadside.

2. Closer...

They look very similar to aphids to me. I have had plants looking similar, smothered with tiny black creatures.

Great captures Bobo.

Here is one of the my shots for comparison of the type of insect.
