Apologies Jose, your kind comments somehow managed to slip through! I most pay a bit more attention! Thanks for the kind comment, the bug is Cercopsis vulnerata a relatively common bug or Froghopper as they are commonly known. These are the ones that blow bubbles through their rear end as a deterrent and evasion strategy. Not unlike many politicians! it is not poisonous at all and quite harmless, unlike politicians! heers, Rod
