Jeff Hahn, University of Minnesota. Spittlebug is a common insect in strawberries in Minnesota home gardens but it is not usually damaging enough to be considered a problem. The nymphs create a foamy mass that they use for protection.
Spitballs are the amazing orbs that grow up to 200 times their original size when immersed in water. Designed for bouncing, throwing, and smashing, Spitballs resemble kernels of salt prior to activation. When dropped into a bowl of warm water, they'll begin their metamorphosis. The longer they soak, the bigger they get.
