I think some kind of caterpillar? It looks to be upon a leaf, and the caterpillar comes in many fascinating forms.
I think it’s an aphid. They take sap from my crepe Myrtle and crap out sticky black tar on my car and driveway.
They suuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Not an aphid its a scale insect. Looks like mold from a distance.
Is THAT what all that black tar on the driveway that came from nowhere that I saw when I was a kid was?? Ew, lol.
Scale insect camouflaged as mold.
