I think that is a wooly aphid. At least that is the only thing in my Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Insects that looks anything like it. And a few searches through google images reveled similar results.

Nice pics...never seen anything like that myself.

Strange looking critter...!

If I had to guess I would assume some form of nymph.. not an adult stage yet... but of what? I have no idea.

Thanks, I appreciate the help, the only problem with this idea, is that the one pictured is 100 times smaller than the one I found. thanks for helping me try to find out what it is.:D :D :D
