24. You'll really itch when I tell you what that fuzz is...

Sugar.
These things feed like Aphids, so they have a lot of sugar in them. so when they pupte, it sort of oozes out and crystalizes...

Tom Turpin at Purdue told me that. There is a bug I saw this spring, I'm trying to remember...Apple Aphid, or Ash Aphid, it's immature form has sugar fuzz, and that's how it migrates. Drifts on the wind.

The mealy bugs I knew about. I've had 'em before.
