I believe this tiny arthropod is on a False Virginia Creeper or Porcelainberry. It doesn’t look like a Cottony Cushion Scale but it might be a Woolly Aphid nymph. It’s about 5 mm long and appears to have bits of fuzz and detritus adorning it’s exoskeleton. I’m clueless. Suggestions appreciated!

Funny little things, lacewings. Recently found one with a detritus shield made entirely of dead bodies(L humile mostly) instead of the usual dirt and debris. The group is surprisingly diverse as well, finding a lot of very different species at my blacklight.
