Spittlebug/Froghopper Nymph Emerging from its Goo
Every time I see spittle on a flower stem and have some type of magnification with me, I peek to see if I can see a spittle bug nymph emerge. It was more habit than hope, as I have never actually seen one. I was ecstatic when this guy made an appearance.

There is something appealing about nearly every animal in baby form. While I know that he emerged because the temperature cooled enough for him to leave his protective foam (made from plant sap he ingests), to me, he looks like he just finished his bubble bath and ready for the day's adventure.

Plecoptera indet.

[ES] Esta exuvia de una ninfa de plecóptero era tan grande que llamó mi atención desde lejos. No es una foto bonita, pero sí es interesante.
Los plecópteros pasan la mayor parte de su vida como ninfas bajo el agua; los adultos tienen la única función de reproducirse, por lo que viven pocos días o semanas. Están asociados a aguas limpias y oxigenadas, por lo que su presencia es indicadora de la calidad de las aguas.
Si queréis más información, no consultéis la wikipedia, cuya página dedicada a los plecópteros es un despropósito, mejor leed esta publicación de la Sociedad Entomológica Aragonesa: http://sea-entomologia.org/IDE@/revista_43.pdf

[EN] This exuvia was so big it caught my attention from the distance. This is not a nice photo, but it is itneresting.
Stoneflies spend most of their lives as nymphs under the water; adults live only a few days or weeks just to reproduce. They appear in clear, oxygenated waters, so they are good indicators of water quality.
This page from the Entomologycal Society of Aragón has a lot of good information about this order (in Spanish): http://sea-entomologia.org/IDE@/revista_43.pdf
