Spittal bug

Spittal bugs surround themselves with a ball of foam attached to grass to hide in from predators.

Your photos are always simply stunning, Joan. It has been a treat to visit again and to browse all your recent posts. Thank you for that adorable baby elephant photo and for helping us see the elusive leopard in the brush.

Nice to see what the bug that makes those spittles looks like.
