Fuzzy Wuzzy Weevil Moth?
I have no idea, but it’s pretty cool!

2nd guess: some kind of leaf hopper?

Excellent guess, Christine! I”m with you – no idea, but really cool!

I like him too. If he were 100 times bigger, I would hug him.

I’m going to say it’s either jassid or a thrip. I don’t think it’s a jassid or a thrip, but I like those insect names. Jassid. Thrip. Final answer.

Looks like wooly scale to me. Which is a goofy name for a bug, I’ve always thought.

Looks like an amigurumi to me.

it clearly is a Central Philippines Silk Worm ;-)

I don’t think it’s an animal but could be some dryer lint that got caught up in some branches.

Speaking of laundry, he reminds me of a tube sock.

I agree with Laceysmom as I was going to say a piece of lint from someone’s sweater.

I’ll call him the Frilled Hockey Sock Snail. He hails from a really cool neighborhood where all the animals are free to be individuals.

It’s a rare tropical Fuzz Button. Really cool. I give up!!!

This is a cottony cushion scale. They are found worldwide, especially on citrus farms. And they are hermaphrodites.
