The species identification seems to be struggling with this one, suggesting Siphanta (Torpedo bug). Pretty sure it is in the Family Aphididae, but would love some professional feedback. Presents with white threads coming from the abdomen. My first thought is some sort of reproductive process - eggs possibly - but I don't know enough about aphids.

Visually similar to a Calliope hummingbird, but I don't know enough to distinguish a specific Genus. Observed eating nectar from some Wild Tree Tobacco.

Observing hundreds of these around the area right now, which is to be expected. We had numerous caterpillars around this season, which were recently pupating.
