They're about the size of rice, a few have wings.
Luckily for you they’re not the walking variety.
Those came to the US illegally and reportedly frequent Glory Holes.

I’ve been told in the past to let them be as they are cleaning the tree of fungus etc.

Super Termites. They’re about to destroy your house. Only way to stop them is burn everything wood within Quarter mile radius to the ground.

the tree
Based on that one photo...I’m going to guess a CRAPmyrtle (crepemyrtle), with a chance it could also be a Chinese elm.
Those are my best guesses based on that foot of trunk you’re showing.

Okinawa Pubic Hair Lice
They are giants among lice.

Bark lice We've had those on our crape myrtles every year. I used to spend a lot of time killing them because I thought they were aphids. But they are actually harmless and maybe even beneficial.

Barklice. They aid in your trees health. See them on my crape myrtles quite often.

I used to get these on my drake elm. I would just spray a standard bug spray and get rid of them.

Bark lice/tree cattle. They are common on crepe myrtles. Don't kill them they are good bugs

That's a swarm of Dikfer.

Creme Myrtle have a bark that appears to have spalled off elsewhere on that trunk. I think the black stuff scattered on the trunk may be insect frass.

Are there multiple patches on tree?
These are Barklice and they are beneficial to the tree. I'm not sure if they are what your photo shows. The Barklice cluster like the insects in your photo. Yours also seem darker but that may be lighting.
Send some pics to your Ag Extension Agent and see if he can help. Good luck with it.
