Hi
A lot of the plants in the garden have white foam on them (as kids we used to call it 'spit'). I have seen this many times in the past as housing a tiny leaf hopper and so have been leaving alone. However, my husband says they contain baby slugs. I've looked and they do contain tiny black creatures, not green hoppers, though too tiny to identify. Some of the foam is rather milky, whereas the leaf hopper foam is made from clear liquid.I thought slugs only laid eggs in the soil. Does anyone know please? I'd like to leave them be but we grow vegetables so I do pick up slugs and remove them from the garden so if they are slugs then leaving them will just create a lot more work removing them and a lot more damage before I do!
thanks
Nicky
