Spittle Bug and Bog Orchid

Spittle Bug and Bog Orchid
You can't actually see the bug since he hides in the "spittle" he makes. He is actually a small hopper that encases himself in foam. In this case he has chosen the White Bog Orchid, Platanthera dilatata for his home.

Ulrich John, Nora Caracci have particularly liked this photo
