Question for JBP experts

Yesterday while checkin my juni's for mites I thought I wold check my JBP's. Now I've been keeping JBP"s for 8 years with never a problem but a little needle cast now and then. When I checked them yesterday I found a bug on every tree and I have 13. I attached a picture but you probably won't be able to tell anything, so I will do my best to discribe them. They are about 1/32" long and look somewhat like a black ant, when I smashed one, sure enough it turned the paper green, problem. I hit them with Malathion which usually gets most stuff, didn't phase these guys. I looked around on my chemical shelf and my wife had some general Spectracide that said it killed everything but rattlesnakes :-). It got em. Can anyone out there tell me what the heck these guys were.
