's really too bad I can't get a larger shot of the little critter, but mine is fairly flat, not round bodied (cocklebur shaped) like the link above, and it doesn't have this long wiry hairlike stuff.

Looks like cottony scale, although I've not known honeysuckle to be particularly troubled by this type of critter. Insecticidal soap or ultrafine horticultural oil are the recommended treatments.
