Spittlebugs are pests, sucking the sap from garden plants and using it to make their protective, slimy froth.  Eventually they grow into froghoppers.  But while they are in their nymph form, if you gently scoop one out of its foam, you’ll find that it’s weirdly adorable and almost invisibly small.

These tiny little guys are newly hatched garden spiders.  In a few months, they’ll be big and gorgeous.
