Hmmm, looks like a Backswimmer (the only reason I know this is my brother had some of them in his pool when he lived in DFW area).

Looks like Allium sphaerocephalon cv 'Hair'

Dorthy Thanks so much. I knew someone could lend some knowledge. I greatly appreciate it.Send me your addy and I will box it up as your prize for guessing it right. LOL No seriously you can have it. Gross!! Seriously If you want some Black Hollyhocks I have a few spare seeds I can share with you for your help! Brandy

Dawg! That's one wild and wooly cat! I'm thinking maybe Southern Flannel Moth, Megalopyge opercularis AKA puss caterpillar or asp. Or maybe one of its cousins. Don't touch it, whatever you do! If it doesn't kill ya, you'll wish it had. ICA, Sophie ^i^
