沫蟬的種類很多，屬半翅目沫蟬科，常見紅紋沫蟬和小紅斑沫蟬，亦稱吹沫蟲、鵑唾蟲或吹泡蟲。身長只有6毫米，有些不到5毫米，顏色很樸素。生活在植物葉片上，具保護色因此不太容易發現。若蟲會分泌一種泡沫狀物質，用來保護自己不至於乾燥及免受天敵侵害。用鏡頭記錄家鄉的生態。

Froghoppers belong to the family Cercopidae and order Hemiptera. The most common species are Cosmoscarta uchidae and Cosmoscarta bispecularis. They are also called spittlebugs or cuckoo spit insects. They measure up to only 6mm in length. Active on leaves, their protective coloration makes it difficult to spot them. Nymphs secrete a foamy substance to maintain moisture and avoid attacks by predators. Through my lens, I record nature in my hometown.
