Good morning everyone, we have noticed these bubbles on our cootamundra wattle this morning. Does anyone know what it is and how to treat it. Thank you.
I work on a flower farm, our coota has this periodically. It does no harm to the plant and doesn’t affect the product. I have had it all over my hands at times with no issues. I wouldn’t be concerned.

Here in the States we have a pest called spittle bugs that do that, unlike *”everything in Australia”* they aren’t trying to kill you 🤣
ETA: maybe this will help
