Re: now Kitty's bug - was-Yellowjackets

I doubt it's a snack of any kind, and maybe/maybe not the cocoon thing
either.  I've seen these on 3 plants in 2 years and one individual one over
several week's time. (shoulda killed the little bugger instead of observing)
The cotton is attached to every one and never shed while alive.  The dead
ones I photographed didn't show the cotton.
