Half Black Half Red Bug - Aphrophora
Atlanta, Ga, United States, Fulton County, Georgia, USA

Anyone know what genus these bugs are from so I can plan my attack from there? These bugs like to attach themselves to the base of the plant and form a sort of bubble layer around them.

Thank you!
This makes me feel so much better knowing that the damage they do is minimal and that the frothy layer is just a protective layer for the bugs. I sprayed em down with some chili/garlic water. Haven't seen a single one since! Thanks again for the quick reply!

Ok
I found some look-a-likes in the genus Aphrophora. Might want to check that out.
