	BBC - h2g2 - Cuckoo-spit and the Life History of the Froghopper
		The name cuckoo-spit is said to have derived from the arrival of the spittle on plants which coincided with the first call of the cuckoo in spring.
		The life-cycle of the Froghopper is in three stages: egg, nymph, and adult.
		This life-cycle distinguishes the froghopper from such insects as butterflies and bees, which have four distinct stages - egg, larvae, pupa and adult - and go through a metamorphosis at the pupa stage.

	The Froghopper or Spittlebug
		The froghoppers, of which there are about 25 species in the United States, belong to a large group of insects all of which have two pairs of wings and feed exclusively on plant juices but otherwise exhibit an amazing variety of weird shapes and queer habits.
		In late spring the young froghopper hatches from an egg laid in plant tissue the previous autumn.
		In any case, the young froghopper grows and molts several times before he quits blowing bubbles Finally he passes through his last molt and emerges as a grayish adult, about one-quarter inch long, able to either hop or fly.
