Philaenus spumarius
The Meadow Spittlebug is a tiny insect that makes a bubbly foam to protect itself. It can be found hopping around in grassy areas, and it loves to suck juice from plants.
生息地: Grasslands
The Meadow Spittlebug is a small, oval-shaped insect, typically 5-7mm long. It has a highly varied appearance, often mottled brown, black, grey, or tan, allowing it to blend seamlessly with bark or vegetation. Its compact, wedge-shaped head and somewhat flattened body help distinguish it from other plant-hoppers.
