Thanks, Janet! That may, indeed, be what they are. After reading the
URL above, I mixed up some rubbing alcohol with water and a bit of
dishwashing soap and sprayed every piece of "lint" I could find on my
iris leaves. That "lint" ain't movin' no more! I'll keep a closer eye
on things down in the basement so I can continue to spray any more
suspicious characters that may pop up. At least I'm fairly certain I
caught this first batch as soon as they hatched.
I appreciate the help.
Happy New Year!
Laurie
