Dogwood spittlebugs (Clastoptera proteus)

These are two adult spittlebugs. Nearby you can see a typical foamy case in which the nymphs would have lived. The adults have probably just recently emerged. A small midge is stuck in the foam.

At least I know what this foam is when I see now thanks to you. :) They're cute little bugs. V.
