What are these insects and what should I do about them?

[PennyHolmes]

I have hundreds of these little white bugs on a tree in my front yard. They are not fuzzy.

I have no idea what kind of tree it is. The home builder put it in and I have never seen it before. It has very small hard spiny fruits on it in the spring. I assume it is a type of ornamental fuit tree.

Can you take a better close up picture. If you know someone with a Blackberry Torch it has a close up mode in the camera, that will work. Do they fly? How long are they?

PH, your tree appears to be a magnolia and the pest is most likely Siphoninus phillyreae or ash whitefly. NCSU: ENT/ort-113 Ash Whitefly
