Stinging Rose Caterpillar (Parasa indetermina) Contacting this slug caterpillar causes a painful sting and the contact spot eventually swells and remains painful for hours or days. Fortunately this is a rare caterpillar.

Had index 26 July 2014 as 131.84 with three stems - ? correct measured
Gary Prentice Farm, three stems, western stem with bump, but measured just underneath bump on 12 June 2021 as follows:
Stem circumference #1 = 2.70m; #2 = 2.33m; #3 = 2.09m
Total circumference (ES11 formula) = 7.12m
d=2.2654
Stem diameter = 1.315m
N-S crown spread = 28.0m
E-W crown spread = 24.5m
Crown cover = 541.41 sq m
Tree height = 18.0m

Shrinkage over 7 years of 16.9%, but crown cover increased 25.38%
Tree on private property - not protected in a reserve

Huge fig tree with a canopy diameter of just over 100 m. Much of it killed by salt-water intrusion caused by high seas in March 2007. The second photo shows the tree on 28 May 2007. The extent of the saltwater intrusion is clearly visible.

Locality: NEW ZEALAND AK, suburb of Saint Johns, Colin Maiden Park.

Habitat: Vitex lucens. Common on lower surface of leaves. Many adult females observed, some with a cluster of crawlers underneath (see second photo).

Identification: Epelidochiton piperis (Maskell, 1882).

Also known as Mayetiola piceae or Spruce Gall Midge on Picea glauca (White Spruce). This gall differs from Adelges abietis in that it is not formed at the base of a branch and is not pineapple shaped. It is not Adelges cooleyi because it is not confined to branch tips.
Wiki has a description https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayetiola_piceae
It is known in the Upper Peninsula and is described by Michigan State University Extension http://msue.anr.msu.edu/news/spruce_gall_midge_adults_emerging_and_laying_eggs_now and http://msue.anr.msu.edu/news/spruce_gall_midge

Predatory fly-eating Rove Beetles can often be found near decaying material such as rotting fungi and animal dung where their favourite prey usually hangs out in large numbers. This beetle is no exception, but when there are no strong odours of decay to attract flies, it can manufacture its own. The abdominal tip of most Rove Beetles is packed with powerful defensive chemicals but in this species odours attractive to flies can be produced instead.
