Kayla Your photo is of a woolly aphid. Not sure which one since we don't know what it was feeding on. Also a winged adult was probably flying to lay eggs somewhere so if you did not find others on a particular plant then you would not know its host. Like any aphid these suck juices out of the host plant. Woolly aphids have filamentous waxy white covering which resembles cotton or wool hence the name. The adults are winged and move to new locations where they lay eggs. The larvae often form large cottony masses on twigs, for protection from predators.
