ID Please!! - Fulgoraecia exigua
Fairview, Union County, North Carolina, USA
August 26, 2017
Size: Small, maybe 4 mm
I guess it's a larvae stage, pink and covered with fuzzy dusty stuff but I've searched and can't find anything close to an ID. It was hanging from a tree by a rather thickish strand of web-like material. Probably wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't walked into the webby thread and found this guy hanging from my arm. On the ground, it stretched and twisted around trying to flip over. I could barely make out some "feet", and a "head" with eyes.
