| Spittle Bug |
Spittle Bugs or Spit Bugs are nymphs of froghoppers (Hemipteran insects in the superfamily Cercopoidea). Spittle bugs get their name from the bubbling liquid the nymphs produce in order to protect themselves. This bubbling liquid is known as cuckoo spit or snake spit. A few species of spittle bugs are serious agricultural pests. The nymphs pierce plants and suck sap causing damage to plants.
