Toumeyella pini
Small, hemispherical insects that really don't resemble insects at all. Waxy coating of insect is hard, shiny brown with pale stripes.
These were infesting an ornamental pine in a residential urban neighborhood.
Conifers that are planted in less-than-optimal situations are often more vulnerable to scale insects than their wild counterparts.
