ammazing!
hey me and my friend found one of those things in the woods and it was the CUTEST thing ever and we took a few pictures of it while i caught it for some time but our version of that bug had a big puffy back half and its front had like a slender tube like body almost like a dragon fly and its body was a baby blue color and the puff was like this ones and it was white but it wasnt a narrow looking puff like this bugs... and we think that ours was like a premature version of this bug.
