This tiny 3 mm spider (at least, I think it is a spider) just fall out of a flowering tree and it look like one of the flowers. When I tried to get a closer look it jumped 50 cm straight up....freaked me out a bit, but what a pretty spider. Don't know the name, tried to find it on internet.

Not the best picture. Used cellphone
 
these things are so cool. i think they are called wooly aphids
 
I saw these on tv recently but they were much bigger. Gills right. They pinged like crazy when disturbed!

Nope...I've seen those many times. This is definitely not an Aphid, also it doesn't have wings.

O yeah, maybe I should mention that I live in a subtropical place

China by any chance?
 
Count it's legs. All spiders have eight. They are Arachnids.

I tried to count them....very small...and maybe it was using 2 legs as disguise....o_O[DOUBLEPOST=1399856742][/DOUBLEPOST]
It's not a flower spider, probably a planthopper nymph.
looks like one of those indeed
