While enjoying a sunny day at Gwinnett County Park, Leslie Howe, a mother of three, decided to take a break with her children on a park bench. As they settled in, the family noticed a small, unusual creature nearby. At first glance, it looked completely harmless—covered in soft, silky fur. The children, curious and playful, thought it might be friendly or just another insect. Leslie, however, quickly encouraged them to observe without touching, a choice that turned out to be very wise.
