Spittlebug on coneflower

This was taken in my garden in late summer. Spittlebugs are common little bugs, although we more often see their "spittle" from which they get their name, than the adults. The spittle is actually a home for the nymphs, who need the moisture these cases or homes give.

Like a jeweled pin on pink silk fabric. Quite lovely, Christine.
