Casings or Bugs on Blue Spruce or White Pine #642785

Hi,
My friends sent me this pic from up north Michigan outside West Branch on their lake property.
They asked what I thought. I thought it was casings from white pine or some sort of sprue or pine.
Then I thought they might be bug casings from larva that just hatched. Is this from a pine tree or
June Bugs or some other bug. Just wondering. Thanks for you constant help in my questions.

I cannot tell what the objects are from the photo you sent.
Hi,
Are these better pics?
I believe they are casings to Spruce and White Pines, but I wanted a second opinion.
Thanks
Let me know why these are so sticky and stick to everything. This is what My friend is asking me.

Yes, I agree that this is some sort of plant part, like the bud "casing" of spruces. Many other trees have some sort of bud covering that is shed off, so it might be something other than spruce or pine.
