Dogwood spittlebug (Clastoptera proteus)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

During May and especially June, dogwoods (Cornus) are often festooned with tiny blobs of white foam. These are the nymphal shelters for this dogwood. By July the adults have started appearing and are numerous, mostly on dogwoods but also on many other plants. These critters are tiny, about 3 mm.
