Prosapia ignipectus
The bright red markings on the underside, particularly at the leg bases, distinguish this species from the dark variety of two-lined spittle bug, P. bicincta.

Finally
I got an identifiable image of the Red-legged Spittlebug. Thanks for this and the other ID's again Andy.
PS I got the booklet on leafhoppers, and you did a great job, especially with all the artwork. Thanks.
