spittlebug

A. What you're seeing is the camouflage of a fascinating insect known as the spittlebug or froghopper.

Due to the very isolated situation of these islands, it is unlikely that the spittlebug will be found on mainland coastal sites.

Key words: mitochondrial genomics, phylogeny, molecular evolution, sequence variation, spittlebug.

Ptyelus grossus is a Auchenorrhynchan spittlebug in the family Cercopidae.

It is severely attacked by the spittlebug who cause significant damage to the plant in Tropical America affecting the development and persistence of the plants.

The endosymbiont was found in the dissected bacteriocyte of the spittlebug (Calstopter arizonana).

During spring time it may happen that water drips from the tree's branches, a phenomenon that is caused by the spittlebug Ptyelus grossus.

Prosapia bicincta, common name Two-lined Spittlebug, is a species of insect in the family Cercopidae.

As an adult spittlebug, it will be nondescript, but its protective coating as a youngster gives it its name.

We present the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the meadow spittlebug Philaenus spumarius (Auchenorrhyncha:

Other studies have documented the nature of its residency in other insects like the maize leafhopper (Cicadulina) or the spittlebug (Cercopoidea).

An endemic spittlebug (Philaenarcys sp.nov.) has been found on the unglaciated Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of St.

The spittlebug coats and surrounds itself with a drop of fluid made from the undigested plant sap and a binding material produced by its abdominal glands.

The highly polyphagic spittlebug, Philaenus spumarius (L.), has also been observed in association with Hippophaë and Coriaria.

Bug in a Bubble The Spittlebug larva lives inside a sticky cluster of bubbles that it produces on the stem of a plant or a leaf.

For example, Sulcia Muelleri and candidatus Zinderia insecticola are both found to live in the bacteriome of select species of the spittlebug.

The meadow spittlebug Philaenus spumarius is a common insect in much of the Northern Hemisphere, and it is sometimes a pest on crops such as alfalfa.

During the immature stage of the spittlebug's life, it feeds on plant sap and produces a frothy white mass along the stem or where the leaves join the stem.

He yearns to return the greetings of the large and small insects he meets, such as a locust, a praying mantis, a spittlebug, a luna moth, and some mosquitoes.

Most other "short-horned" bugs show similar or even steeper declines northward; for example, only one cicada, two treehoppers (Beirne 1961), and a single spittlebug (Hamilton 1982) are found in the most temperate part of the Northwest Territories.
