Spittle bugs and an Unknown

Here are a few pics of spittle bugs, a cannibal damsel, and a unknown insect.

#1 I think they are spittlebugs, they seem to be with the spittle everytime I found them.

#2 another one.

#3 a pair

#4 the damsel...I think she is eating another.

#5 the unknown

Thanks for looking

Lovely shots
Assume those adult spittle bugs have just been making a spittle nest for their eggs. Think it's only the nymph stage that lives inside (after hatching of course).
