it is probably ring worm or mange, you can put some jock itch cream on it and it should clear up in a week

A Filipino biologist, Dr. Lina Villacarlos, recently discovered a new breed of parasitic fungus. She named it Entomorphthora leyteensis because it falls under the fungus family known as Entomorphthorales – a family that is classified as parasites on insect like the common housefly – and leyteensis from the name of the place where she discovered it, that is Leyte. \n\nEDWARD QUINTO A Luminous Vision : This Filipino biologist has worked tirelessly to make use of low-cost, local resources to help his country and people.\n\nEarly in the 1960's, Filipino biologist (Dioscoro) Rabor alerted the world that this magnificent bird was in serious danger of extinction. Eagles were found on only four of the 1,700 islands of the Philippine Archipelago. A handful of birds were reported on Leyte and Samar, with the majority on the islands of Luzor and Mindanao.\n\nCarmela Española, a Filipino wildlife biologist, found a group of these dark brown birds with their distinctive orange-red bills and legs foraging in the undergrowth near a stream while she was walking through a rainforest on May 11 this year.\nHer notes and photographs, along with the recordings of the bird’s loud, harsh, rasping calls, later helped determine that the species was not only new to her, but also new to science. Locals, however, know the bird by the name ‘piding’. Some residents said the birds were there sometimes even caught for food.\n\nWood describes how he was brought by Dr Alcala, a distinguished Filipino biologist, to the one island where the reef was expected to be safe, since a marine nature reserve had saved it from dynamiting. Only to find it swarming with illegal squatters, driven by hunger to invade, fish out and ruin the last reserve

The "angel bug" name is probably a local thing. They could be whiteflies or woolly aphids.\nCheck out some pics:\nhttp://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/pictures/Sternorrhyncha.html

If this is an old, old tree and is free of severe insect damage then you have a small fortune on your hands!  I suggest going to E-bay and sell to the highest bidder.

It's very hard to tell what it might be without seeing a picture, but if you are checking out http://www.whatsthatbug.com then I'd recommend checking out the pictures of the boxelder bug and see if that matches your critter.

No as palm tree is monocotyledonous plant having no cambial or secondary meristemetic activity.Age can be estimated here by leaf scars on trunk.

I doubt anyone here has that information at their fingertips, but you might consider taking the wasp to your local plant nursery.  They may know all about it.
