[Leica] IMG: Finally!

For several years, I've seen these little 2-millimeter-sized balls of 
fluff float around when I was taking pictures, and, when I asked for 
help in identifying them, I was told it had to be fluff from some 
flowering tree or plant.  But, as I saw them move about, I realized that 
they were not just drifting in the breeze, but were actually controlling 
their own course.  I finally found out they were Hackberry Wooly Aphids, 
but there was no way to catch a picture on the fly.

Finally, today, I had one settle down on a leaf in front of me. Focusing 
on something with no shape gave me problems;  this is the best I could do.
