Well captured, Jim. I suppose that I had heard of them but I’ve never seen them.

For several years, I've seen these little 2-millimeter-sized balls of fluff
float around when I was taking pictures, and, when I asked for help in
identifying them, I was told it had to be fluff from some flowering tree or
plant. But, as I saw them move about, I realized that they were not just
drifting in the breeze, but were actually controlling their own course. I
finally found out they were Hackberry Wooly Aphids, but there was no way to
catch a picture on the fly.
Finally, today, I had one settle down on a leaf in front of me. Focusing on
something with no shape gave me problems; this is the best I could do.
