Aphids, Scale Insects, Leafhoppers, and Tree HoppersWhat kind of bug is this and do we need to get rid of it? If so, how do we?

Hi Jeffrey,
You have a species of Spittle Bug which we identified on Bug Guide as Prosapia bicincta. The nymphs are often found sucking the juices from plants while under the protection of a mass of frothy bubbles exuded from the anus. Another common name is Frog Hopper. They are injurious.
