Spittlebug

The hopperlike animal is hiding inside what looks like foam. Philagra parva belongs to a family also called froghoppers. The foam is not spit, but is secreted from its abdomen. Taxonomically, it is a phenomenon of the artificial intelligence century: ALA and GBIF have it in different families and nobody except some form of intelligence knows why. Both initiatives are doing a great job to hide that they don't care about curation and are happy to simply copy like any other non-intelligent actor in biodiversity research. They call it state-of-the-art databases, and push the curated databases out of existence by ridiculing them for allegedly following an outdated concept. Knowing and sharing knowledge is outdated, appropriation and false claims are in fashion.
