Hi Angie Nichols, SC

Loved your description of spittle bugs. It's a common sight on low-growing
plants in coastal SC. We were told as kids that they were left by water
moccasins, which meant I never investigated them close up. Snakes are about
the only thing that frighten me these days, ...... well that and driving in
Atlanta.
