LOL... ok.. the definition of the word viscus is: an internal organ of the body, one(as the heart, liver or intestine) located in the great cavity of the trunk proper.

Perhaps you meant the word Viscous... which means: having a sticky quality? If so, then I'd say that has nothing to do with the caterpillar (or whatever it was) you found and more to do with the standard development of resin on the bud/plant. In other words... the stickier the better

Ahh... I didn't see the webbing in the picture. If there is obvious webbing then that is NOT from the resin of the plant. Is it thick tight webbing like a cocoon or a finely designed web like a spider? Can you mist it with water and take a snapshot? Water makes the web stand out more.

You do know you need to re-spray for mite eggs at about 3 weeks, right?

Yep... definitely a web or cocoon ... I can't really tell from that picture... but I'm leaning towards web. I'm guessing it's the spider mites webbing. Do you have a microscope? You need to get in and take a magnified look at what's going on.

Not saying its not the mites, but in my yard we have caterpillers like yours that spin MASSIVE cocoons in tree branches. So I could see it being the caterpiller.
When i say massive I mean it, I saw one once the size of a footballhad to be 10,000 pillers in there. /shudder

If you're gonna need to spray in early flower, ya best getter done a.s.a.p. to allow the chems to dissipate.
