ID: ID Help appreciated, as per the response from experts its either a Jassid/Leafhopper or Spittle bug, emerging from its pupa
Came across this interesting scene where there seemed to be a tiny thorn backed insect seated on some bubbles on the tip of a narrow but long structure. On close observation, and first impression, it seemed to be a tiny spittle bug(8-10mm) forming some foam, but after a spending a long time, it hardly was doing anything and seemed to be stagnant and resting. On sharing it with some experts they specified it to be emerging from the Pupa.
EXIF:
Canon 550D
Canon 100mm macro + Raynox DCR 250
F/16
Shutterspeed 1/125
ISO 800
Handheld, External flash fired
Two images blended to get whole insect and the bubbles in focus
Location: Nagla trail
