Philaenus spumarius
Hidden within masses of frothy "spittle" the spittlebug or nymph of the meadow froghopper is rarely seen, and appears embryonic with unformed eyes.
In a froth of "spittle" on the spent flower of a columbine. I also found a yellowish one on a stem of Love in a Mist. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/238...
This one appears to be more mature

Nice spotting and series, Karen!
