It is still hard to see but do these look like very little, what appears to be similar to, caterpillars (similar to butterfly larvae)?
I have something very similar here!

One more question? Do they develop into a crusty brown mass, indistinguishable from their original form?

I wasn't there long enough to study their evolution

Those are the little things that get sprinkled on top of ice cream cones. Where I come from (Phila.) they called them “jimmies.” In Southern New England (and a few other places I’ve been) they’re referred-to as “shots.”

I wish I could tell you exactly what they are but can not. I have them developing on just one of a pair of sunrooms on the back of my house and on the wood siding there also. Wash them down regularly and they come back. The back faces West/Southwest.
They are odd little creatures! I noticed the color of the wood they are on. It is the same yellow as the sunrooms and the siding I painted to match. Sunrooms are aluminum clad styrofoam walls. Have other materials on the back of the house but they stay strictly to those yellow colored areas. Also painted all of my soffit, fascia trim, etc. same color all around the house and they only stay on the back. Have a steel barn the same color 50' from the house and don't see them on it. They gather in a group and develop into a brown crust as if in a cocoon stage. Really odd!!!  
Been trying to figure it out for the past two years. Had an really good exterminator (Geek type) look at them and could not tell me. Could not find anything on the net specifically for them. As soon as I get a chance I'll send a sample to Texas A&M Entomology Department and see if they can identify them.
