Found crawling down the bark of a eucalypt. Perhaps some kind of scale? Ruler in photo 4 is in metric

Eriococcid (felt scale) from genus 'Lachnodius'. Species could be 'Lachnodius sealakeensis' but morphological and genetic examination required for species identification.

Thanks. I found one more free walking specimen yesterday and gave it to Michael Mulvaney today.
