We. Saw. The. Craziest. Bug. Ever. Today. It is actually still undertermined if it was a bug or a spider, all I know is it was so out of this world weird. We were walking in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, and I looked down and saw... It. It looked like a piece of poplar fuzz blowing across the sidewalk. But no. It was alive.


If anyone has any idea what this bug could be, please tell us. I am going to email a picture of it to someone (no idea who yet) at the University tomorrow. It has blown my mind.

SO weird!! I did some googling and I think it might be the larvea of a Mealybug Destroyer. The adult version looks a little different, but pictures of the larvea look very very similar!
