On Fennel, after the aphids

This cute little nymph (of something) was crawling around on the flower stalk of giant ragweed. I don't recognize what it might be. I only noticed later that there were also numbers of aphids on that flower stalk.

This guy was spotted by my dad; how I don't know because this thing was very tiny. It had little tiny spines on its body and was a gray or off white insect. It was no bigger than a few centimeters. At first glance it looks kind of like a mealybug but I don't think it is because they make their homes out of trash. This was clearly armor of some kind. It was a very interesting insect and one of the tiniest I have ever seen. It was very cool to look at. It didn't move very fast just to note. You might say he was getting no place fast.
