SUDS ON PLANT

Asked on 27 Jun, 2008

Hello,
I'm not even sure what this plant is, but it has spots of suds. Is that a problem?

Inside the "suds" is a little insect called a frog hopper. I believe it sucks the sap from the young shoots. The suds are known as "Cuckoo spit"

The plant looks like a Lavender, do the leaves have the scent?

The creatures inside are harmless, but the best way to get rid of them is to spray water at the 'suds' and then the birds will eat the 'critters'.
