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.
