What do spittle bug look like?

Spittle bugs, also known as froghoppers, are small insects typically ranging from 1/4 to 1/2 inch in length. They have a robust, oval body that can be green, brown, or black, often with a waxy or frothy substance surrounding them, which resembles spit—hence their name. Their wings are held tent-like over their bodies, and they have distinctive jumping abilities, allowing them to leap away quickly when disturbed. The nymphs are particularly notable for their spittle mass, which they produce for protection as they feed on plant sap.
