We have some wierd things living on one of our blackcurrant bushes!
I have enclosed the only pjhoto I could find of it on the web, but it had no discription, so am still in the dark.

It looks abit like the shell of a wood louse, but under it is a thick lump of what appears to be white gloop, but when it is disturbed, the white bit pulls out like sticky silk/candyfloss fibre.

Any suggestions, eradications, and if there are any natural predators we can introduce instead.
