The leaves are densly covered with stellate hairs giving them a velvety texture. Despite this a skipper butterfly larva gets past this defense: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/161521036

~2 mm body, antennal flagellum with 11 parts; the last segment longer. Found on a Romaine lettuce flower most of a windy day. The next day the wasp was in the same spot. Using a macro lens, a white glob was discovered stuck to her back legs (last photo taken 3/21/22). Using a small pointed stick, the legs were freed and the wasp flew away. Bob Zuparko confirmed genus on BugGuide.

Nectaring on Physalis hederacea; some hang on to an individual flower for up to a minute. A nice change from the usual "focus...focus...flit!"
