Thanks, Dan. Leuba, you have to be invasive and pull them out. They were damaging some of my mom's garden, so I was accomplishing two things at once
cute ! yet to see one of these outside their froth "nests". Nice spotting Karen.
Nice shots Karen.
Of a rarely seen creature(unless you pull the spittle off the plant!)
Amazing macro!
