Under the cuckoo spit

Not sure how internationally know cuckoo spit is but I learned something the other day that it is secreted by the immature stages of sap-sucking insects known as froghoppers, presumably as a means of protecting themselves against predators. This is what I found inside.

Great close up. I remember cuckoo spit from when we lived in the UK, but I have never seen it in Australia.

Sounds like our spittlebugs. Looks the same, too.

Very cool! This is such a great macro shot - so clear and detailed. That brown spot looks like a big eye -
