Weird Insect found while hiking in Mexico

I know this isn't very odd or out there but it did perplex me quite a bit. The insect I found was on a branch and I picked it up to analyze and check it out. What really bothered me is that the insect was a scribble... it didn't have a form per se.... I've been searching for the insect on-line but I haven't found something concrete. I uploaded the crappy pics I took with my phone camera... and I will try to find some more information.

Seriously? You may have found a really interesting insect but those photos are terrible. You could just as easily claim that you had a picture of a ghost or alien, because nothing is even remotely identifiable.

Going by those pics ,whatever it is, it is very good at camouflage .

No offence, but you must be really bad at taking pictures. Not sure what we're suppose to be looking at, I see a big blur.

Can you compare it to anything? You said it does not have a form...what makes you think its an insect? Or even alive?

looks like chewing gum to me.
or spit.
or bleached lentils all squidged up

Sorry mate but from those blurry images I get nothing. Can you describe it a bit better? There are still so many unknown lifeforms on this planet maybe you have discovered a new one. Thought of a name yet?? Need a live sample though.... Okay take care, regards

I have no idea what I am supposed to be looking at here.

Now tell me when you look at the images can you see an insect? You were way too close, you most likely don't have a camera for close ups. Get back from the insect at least 2 feet and then at least we could work with cropping and zooming for you online. I really wanted to see this insect.

Looks like a UFO bug.

Seriously. Either this OP has the some eye issues or he is playing some kind of game. These are the worst pics I have ever seen. I

Did it look like a little bit of cotton fluff with legs? It was probably some sort of scale bug. Google Scale Bug or cottony scale bug.

I can't decide whether this is a trolling post or not...

Hhahahaha I did say they were bad pictures!!

I'm right now making the images smaller and going to draw on top of them.

Jamiros! Now here's a name I haven't seen in a while. Good to have you back.

I'm unable to really make heads or tails of your photos. Can you give a brief description of the insect and the type of area you found it?

Great Pics! I would have to say it's either an alien life form, The Virgin Mary, or perhaps The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

These are Contrails

...too close, yep... i copied the pics, reduced them significantly, then uploaded to post here so others can see whats there a little bit better - not much but a little... i'm guessing the bug is the cotton-ball looking thing, although there is an eye in one pic and thats a little freaky, lol...

Hey there maria_stardust! Haven't seen you in a while either!

Anyway, here comes the pics with my interpretation of what I took pics of...




The red lines are the "scribbles" and the black lines are the head and the legs.




Same on this one...



This is a top view of the insect.

Yes, I know I suck at taking pictures and more when the insect is so small I can't focus right trust me these are the best of 90 pics I took.

I need information on THE INSECT not what it looks like, I want to know if there's a type of insect that uses some sort of scribble like camo or what the heck did I find.

I didn't take the insect with me because I respect all living beings even animals so

this is evidence that aliens are visiting this planet
