Good shots of this tiny one, I would agree with your ID. Maybe this one looks smaller because it hasn't exuded many long waxy filaments yet. He has a cute expression.

I am slightly familiar with wooly aphids. This is unusual because it has so little 'wool'. A Homopteran, yes. Not familiar to me , yes. Wooly aphid ???

It should be a wooly. There are winged forms for dispersal and these can be less burdened with wool .

Oh my gosh, what a cute expression on its little face in the first shot. Love seeing the super small critters so thanks for your skillfully shot images.

I see mini cotton balls about the size of a BB in the air late summer. When caught prove to be wooly aphids. Could this be a male???.
