I found these scattered on several branches on an apple tree in my orchard. I’ve never seen them before. Does anybody recognize them? They look a bit like lady bug pupae, but I don’t recall seeing them look this round.

I finally turned up something on the internet. This is lecanium scale. It’s not considered a serious pest unless it has densely populated a host plant. Fortunately, there aren’t too many of them and the tiny eggs inside haven’t hatched yet. I’m off to squish scale.
Glad you found the lnfo. It looked like tiny tumors and ugly
