Bathyllus albicinctus Spittlebug or Froghopper - AdultI think these must be the Hippopotamus of the insect world except the nymph lives in a mass of froth on a plant stem. The froth prevents the nymph from dehydration and predators. See
Save Our Waterways Now for excellent photos of the nymphs in the spittle.

We have had some rain and it is so wonderful. I went to check the garden and noticed this little one sitting on the daisies. It is the first time I have been able to get a reflection in a water bubble and I wasn't even trying.
