What is this???
 

Hi all,

I found this on a leaf, with damage from some small black insects that create white lines on the leaves. Do you have any idea what it might be and if it is harmful ?? (not that the plants' leaves are not damaged enough....)

Very interesting!! Looks like you discovered a white sweeper fly-all those fibers on its back end.
I know- not very helpful.

Must be the very latest advance in CIA bugs. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/cool.gif

See if it eats the other insects.

It's a bug, silly! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/poke.gif

But seriously...I've spent the last 45 minutes poring over pictures of insects and I haven't figured out what it is yet. Sorry... http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/confused.gif

It could be a wooly aphid...
