Cuckoo spit and fascinating froghoppers (spittlebugs) | Natural History Museum
In spring and summer, you might notice white foam on plants that looks like frothy spit on a plant. Reassuringly, it's not spit at all, but foam made by a harmless insect called a froghopper - also known as a spittlebug. If you look closely, you will see a delicate, green baby froghopper nestled within the white foam.
