Young spittlebugs feed by sucking juice from plants. Some of this juice passes through their bodies and oozes as bubbles from openings on their bodies. The bubbles don't burst easily, so they quickly pile up. Sometimes these young spittlebugs are completely covered with bubbles.
Now smell this!
Now smell this! The Kiwi bird from New Zealand uses its nostrils
to sniff out worms who are buried just beneath the soil. 12 JUNE 2000
