superfamily Cercopoidea
These families are best known for the nymph stage, which produces a cover of frothed-up plant sap resembling spit; the nymphs are therefore commonly known as spittle bugs and their froth as cuckoo spit, frog spit or snake spit.

Great Macro Atul..
Lucky to find this one in light. They mostly stuck to dark places.
This is a spittlebug in the family Aphrophoridae....don't know the genus or species, though!
You are welcome :)
Glad if I can be of any help...
