- What do you call two bugs facing off on a narrow branch?""A thorny situation
- The female pierces the bark of tender shoots and lays her eggs inside.""After 20 days of gestation, you\ve got an infestation
- These bugs secrete a sugary-sweet treat for ants.""It puts the “doo” in honeydew
- Where will you find more of these creeping “thorns”?""Sucking sap on trees in the Sunshine State
