Description

You’ve seen that mysterious foam on plants—but what if we told you it’s NOT spit? Spittlebugs, aka "spit-bugs," create this frothy shield by mixing excreted plant sap with air, forming a life-saving bubble that protects their nymphs from predators and extreme weather. This wild survival hack turns them into froghoppers, and chances are, you’ve spotted this foam since childhood without knowing its insane purpose. Time to rewrite everything you thought you knew about nature’s weirdest little architects. For advertising opportunities, visit Avonetics.com.
