This evening, I was doing some bottom trimming on one of my plants. I found this critter beneath the bottom fan leafs, netted around approximately one inch of stalk. I actually had touched it, fearing it a mold.
I've attempted to identify it through a basic description, but failed. Its closest match was the Wooly Aphid. Yet, these insects do not have wings. They do jump, however, and eject lines of silk/webbing. Like the aforementioned aphid, it is bright white and very fuzzy. Here are two photos. I apologize for the lack of clarity, but they're incredibly white and are under full-spectrum bulbs.
I appreciate any help, alongside additional information regarding the insect.
