re: Rosemary Gardening Question - Spittle Bug

Misc.
ADVERTISEMENT
Hi Lee,
I believe what you are seeing on your Rosemary
is a Spittle Bug.

The following is a description of it from
Michigan State University:

Spittle bug gets its name from the frothy mass of spittle
that larvae produce and hide in for protection. Larvae
removed from the frothy mass are usually greenish,
soft-bodied, leafhopper-like, and under 10 mm long.
Spittle bugs suck plant sap but are rarely numerous enough
to cause plant damage. The adults are stout-bodied,
leafhopper-like, dull colored and rarely over 12 mm in
length.

Spittle bugs are commonly found on junipers and pine trees
and are quite unattractive. However, they inflict little
damage on mature plants.

The best "control" of spittle bugs on ornamentals is to
tolerate the situation until it passes, a matter of a few
weeks. If action is required, forcefully hosing the
plants is usually sufficient, if repeated two to three
times.

Hope this helps.
