Question

Answer

Dear K., The insect in the picture is Aphrophora salicina, the willow spittlebug. It is a common species found on willows near streams and rivers. The immature stages secrete a frothy, saliva-like substance that protects them from predators. You can find more information about this species on our website: https://www.forestpests.eu/pest/aphrophora-salicina Best regards, M. Zúbrik
