I have an ongoing problem with some kind of pest in my fruit trees. I have apples, cherries, plums which tend to have the worst problems, and peaches and pears that usually do OK for the most part. I have a few pictures of some insects in my trees, and a few of one I killed and took close ups of.
530, 533, 536
Have a light colored insect.
536 seems it might have two things so those are in 536a and 536b.
542, 546
Have a dark colored insect.
Others
The rest are of the one I killed.
I would appreciate any help you can provide on what these are and what you recommend to control them.
Thank you.
Note: I selected three photos because it looks like that is all I can provide. I have more photos if they would be useful

Thanks for reaching out. Photo 530 looks like the shed skin of an aphid. I'm not sure on the other two due to the position of the insect.
What symptoms are you seeing in your tree? Do you have any photos of the damage that you can share?
Additional clear photos of the insects would be welcomed, too.
