The beech blight aphid (Grylloprociphilus imbricator)
The beech blight aphid (Grylloprociphilus imbricator), aka the boogie-woogie aphid.
The white, fuzzy coating on beech blight aphids is a waxy secretion produced by specialized glands on their bodies. It isn't fungus, mold, or cotton. It acts as a form of physical defense from predators by making it harder for predators to reach or grip individual aphids.

Weedy Seadragon (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus)
The seadragon in this video is carrying a cluster of vibrant pink fertilized eggs on the brood patch beneath its tail.
They live exclusively in the temperate coastal waters of southern and eastern Australia. They are endemic to this region, meaning they cannot be found in the wild anywhere else on Earth.
