SPITTLE BUGS

Now for something different. Did you ever wonder what the stuff on plant was that looks like, well, spit. It is a protective foam of a Spittle Bug. I was looking for something to photograph yesterday and came upon some plants with this foam on them. I knew what is was, but to tell the truth I don't know if I had ever seen a Spittle Bug, so without further ado, ladies and gentleman I give you the Spittle Bug.
