SPITTLE BUG - FROG HOPPER #wildlifephotography #wildlife #nature #insects #photography #spittlebug
Spittle bug nymphs are the young stages of spittle bugs, also known as spittlebugs or froghoppers. They are insects that feed on plant sap and are commonly found in gardens and landscapes. Spittle bug nymphs are typically small, ranging in size from 3-6 mm, and are often yellowish-green in color.
These insects are also known for their unique behavior of secreting a sticky, frothy substance called spittle or cuckoo spit, which they use for protection and to prevent water loss. The spittle is produced by the nymphs and is often seen as a white foamy mass on plants.
In winter , the adult froghopper will lay around 100-200 eggs on a plant, which then hatch in the spring, after emerging from the egg, the baby froghopper produces and stays inside its bubble of cuckoo spit for a couple of weeks.
Froghoppers are named for their remarkable ability to jump long distances, similar to frogs. They have powerful hind legs that enable them to leap over 70 times their own body length in a single bound!

According to Wikipedia, mankind is 300 000 years old. So it took 299 900 years for man to learn to fly.

It took them only two weeks to learn from having their poop sacks removed by the parents, to doing it themselves. The parents then entice them with food-like of...

It was built in the exact same location as where last year's nest was constructed, so it might even be the same pair, or maybe last year's offspring. the Amethyst Sunbird is likely named after the small purple patch visible on the male's shoulder. They start off in a well camouflaged area in the tree ...
