Field Notes

Description:

Finally found one of these little guys! I use to collect like tens of these at a time when I was little, now I can only find one about once a year...

They're like little puffball pixie things...!

Whatever it is it looks freaky, I do not want that on my arm! But I am curious what exactly is it? Good spotting
