Interesting pre-conceptions. I was thinking of the
Woolly Aphid!

Ha! That would require specimens and dissection... Joe?
Seriously, part of my website's ethos is to collate information from various sources and bring it together to help inform about the smaller, lesser-looked for invertebrates that usually have a sparse or sketchy online knowledge-base. I have two different-looking MFs and will outline what I know of them and research their statistics/habitats for their profiles when I re-do my website, or even create a literature section.
