We have a new preprint!
In this study, we use #genomic data to uncover population structure and adaptive potential in the meadow #spittlebug, the main European #vector of #Xylella fastidiosa.

The #froghopper is a very descriptive name but I like its alternative names much better: #spittlebug and #cuckoospit.

Seeing spittle bug spit makes me feel like a little kid again. I don't know why I get excited, I just do.

I cannot express how much I adore these frogular little friends

Just another Spittlebug in the wildlife gardens. I see them every day. Maybe the same ones? Who knows?

A photo of a mottled orange/brown spittlebug from above. The spittlebug's head is bluntly round and is mottled orange, brown, and white. The eyes are a pale gray mottled with black spots and blend in with the head. The thorax has more white and brown mottling and blends into the wings which have more orange. The body and wings sweep backwards to a point giving the insect an elongated tear-drop shape.
The Saratoga #Spittlebug, #Aphrophora saratogensis, a very streamlined hopper friend.

The fluffy seeds of the #Willow are ready to fly in the wind, but the small foamy looking round structure looks determined to stay put - a #spittlebug (#froghopper nymph) maybe?

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

A multitude of little white bubbles covering a little segment of a young pine tree's bark and a few needles.
Apparently today is national bubble bath day, so I'd like to give a shoutout to spittlebugs! Also known as froghoppers, they get their name because the nymphs produce this foam to protect themselves. 🫧 #bugsky #hemiptera #insect #spittlebug
A froghopper or spittlebug in the family Cercopidae on a white background. The insect is boldly patterned in alternating thick, transverse black and red-orange stripes.
New day, new species [apparently]! 🥰 I photographed this #froghopper / #spittlebug ( #Hemiptera: #Cercopidae ) in Costa Rica this past August. An expert just mentioned that it's likely a new sp.: www.inaturalist.org/observations...
Even the most conspicuous of creatures can be undescribed!
Today during a hike with @StanfordBioPhD students we noticed these foam balls on #Artemisia #californica (also known as #California #sagebrush). These are likely made by Cuckoo-Spit Spittlebug Froghoppers (Family: Aphrophoridae). #Aphrophoridae #Froghoppers #Spittlebug (1/2)
