Since play time was interrupted by my job today, I didn't create anything new. Today I want to share a couple pictures with you that I took the other day. I was outside playing with my camera and kept seeing this little white piece of fuzz floating around. I ASSUMED it was a piece of fuzz anyway. Well it landed on one of the plants, and then it took off again. The next time it landed I got a closer look. It was actually a bug. I have never seen one of these before. Well, come to think of it, I probably have but always thought it was either pollen or just a piece of fuzz.
Is this not the weirdest looking thing? If anyone knows what it is, let me know.

Hi Ann - glad I found you. We are trying to get better with our photography so following you should be very enlightening and interesting.
wow, that is a crazy looking little creature. maybe it is a fairy. i have never seen anything like that before. looking forward to someone knowing what it is. great pics!
Hi, that's a mealybug! Not good ... I used to get them on my outdoor ferns a lot. If you catch them early, just dab them with rubbing alcohol on a swab or cotton ball.
could it be a wooly aphid? like these:
