There are several other spittlebug species common in Texas. Eggs hatch in about 2 weeks. Two generations can occur per year. These spittlebugs feed on many plants, including grasses, ornamental plants, some crops and weeds. Immatures can be teased out from their frothy spittle masses.
Adults move about readily often in tall weeds or grassy areas.
