Field Notes

Description:

This originally looked like fungus or something on the tips of the Camelia plant. Then I stared at it for a while and saw a white bug going back and forth on the white sticky netting on the stem. All 3 pictures have what looks like a white ball of dental floss, but that's the bug.
