Hi Folks,

After several suggestions that the flying fluffy creatures were Cottonwood seeds, I compared the online photos of Cottonwood seeds with what I saw, and there were subtle differences.  So, a few minutes ago, I grabbed one as it flew by me.  While the white fibers were almost invisible in my hand, at the center was a squirming black insect resembling a tiny "sugar ant".  I continue to search online, but have found nothing.  Here is the originally posted image.  If anyone has a tip, please let me know.

These flying creatures which resemble dandelion fuzz fly about with the Woolly Aphids.  Unable to focus on one in the air, I followed this one until it landed in the grass.  An online search failed to get an ID.

Both of these can be viewed LARGE.

Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
