I am a faculty at Stanford and run the Prakash Lab at Department of Bioengineering at Stanford University. Foldscope community is at the heart of our Frugal Science movement - and I can not tell you how proud I am of this community and grassroots movement.

I took these videos almost 3 years ago, but somehow forgot to post them here. Here are live spittlebugs that make bubbles, lots and lots of bubbles!
And here is the same bug; but filmed at 240fps. Those are some fast bubbles being formed.
Cheers
Manu
