Small white fuzzy gnats
Don't know if this is the right place to ask, but this time of year in New
England we get what look like minute balls of white to whitish-blue fuzz flying about. If you catch one, they look like little black flies with bits of fuzz around the abdomen. Any ideas what they're called? The air can get quite busy with them. -- Wilson 44.69, -67.3 |

I've yet to see them. Coming in late (I've been on vacation)... Yes, there are species of wooly aphids that occur in Michigan. I've never seen large outbreaks of them, but I have seen them. -- Pat in Plymouth MI "So, it was all a dream."
