It's a protective foam produced by the nymph of the Froghopper - Philaenus spumarius 
hope that helps! |

I'd put Common Froghopper - Philaenus spumarius - he's in there somewhere  |

Hi Kayleigh,
The problem with partly rotating an image, is that it crops off trangular sections at all the corners, and you are left with possibly a less than ideal result: - 
The only way you can avoid this is if there was a large area of "unwanted" detail in the original photo, around the actual part that you need to save. EDIT - The way you do this is by using the "straighten" tool, in Paintshop Pro, or other similar image editor type software.
Regards
Mike.
