Everyone knows these seeds, along the roads, at fall. We used to play with them.

Here is the Milkweed plant, seen in whole. You see the alternate leaves (in fact, I just noticed that they look like their cocoon!).

Here is a close-up of its legs and membrane. I guess it is well distributed in the US whereas it is only found in the southern part of Canada.

Here is the little Southern Flying Squirrel (petit polatouche or écureuil volant in French, Glaucomys volans). This species is found in the extreme South-western part of Quebec and South-eastern part of Ontario, in Mexico and Central America down to Honduras. It is considered a vulnerable species in Canada. It is a nocturnal animal and it explains why we don't observe it much. You can see its membrane alongside its belly that it uses to "fly", in fact he "planes" more than he flies. He can even turn 180 degrees while flying!
