A photo of the front of a black, red, and yellow spittlebug resting on light blue painted wood from the side, The Bug is mostly black, with one of the two yellow lines across its wings that gives it its common name visible to the left. Brilliant crimson marks the legs, and highlights areas around the head and eyes.. Spittlebugs get this name as the nymphs surround themselves with a mass of bubbly mucus that looks a lot like a gob of spittle.
South #Georgia is having a real #winter this year and we have no buggies 😭, so I will continue to post some favorites from the archives. Here is a Two-lined #Spittlebug, #Prosapia bicincta. Details in the #AltText
