| Description: | It leaves cuckoo-spit when it is ready to change from a nymph to a froghopper. It sheds its skin - shown with time lapse photography. Its wings slowly expand. Its power to jump has developed. Cuckoo-spit shown on foxgloves, the froghopper that chooses this plant is different. This type of froghopper changes inside the bubbles rather than on the stem of the plant. A froghopper is fished out of his bubble home with a twig. We see this type of froghopper changing inside his bubbles. | |
