Spittle Bugs

It looks like someone spit. A white bubbly mass adorning various plants in the yard. I assumed it was some bug laying eggs. I've been spraying them with the hose every day for a week and a half now. Checked the internet today. A couple google tries and I finally hit it with 'spittle'. Turns out the bugs protect themselves by creating this mass of white bubbles. Apparently they don't do much damage, and all but the pesticide site said that spraying with a hose was enough.

  1. Hmm, I have too much time on my hands despite the history contest so I was curious about your 1st post.
