Young spittle bugs begin life in a tube. This nearby insect in Pic 2 (some were all black) is a nearby suspect for adult.

Fantastic Martin. Missed this one - I feel the the tubes look very much like the gum nuts with the furry white coating. Great photo of the bug too..
Here is another larva tube of the spittle bug
