Fairy Fly (Eriosoma sp.)
When I opened the front door, I saw white fuzzy thing was floating in the air. It flew up so high and disappeared...then came down and landed on an azalea shrub. About 1/4 long or less. The body is white and hairy (like cotton ball.)
Maybe two hours later I went out again then I saw maybe 20 of them were hovering in the air about 10 to 15 feet high. They looked like many white fuzz in the air. The way they fly was different and more like dandelion parachutes are floating in the air. They kept coming from NE and flew away to SW. It was an amazing sight. I have never seen this insect before in person. A fricker gentleman ID this insect for me. :)
