A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Philaenus spumarius
The nymph stage off this species. They vary greatly in terms of color. They create a mass of frothy bubbles that protect them from predators. Very embryonic in appearance, they also show the ability to move within the soft ectoskeleton in very a fluid way
I pulled this one off a wild carrot aka Queen Anne's lace and placed him on a leaf for photography.
I found two more with this color variation
