It rather looks like a hybrid insect/plant.
You have the Eye!
Wow.

helicopters cover the sidewalk, making a big mess. Plus it seems they sprout in all my patio potted plants, and I hate ripping out the maple babies. It is truly gorgeous. Thank you for the reminder to SLOW DOWN, and not just LOOK, but actually SEE the beauty around us.

Otherworldly! But really cool.
I can't say that I ever noticed them before either.

We have a sassafras tree that has just finished blooming. I always enjoy it.
