NAME THIS PEST!

Any etymologists or gardeners out there who can help me?

On my strawberry plants, along the stems, I've noted (and squashed) little worms hidden in a mess of frothy white bubbles. The bubbles are the consistency of saliva, and it looks for all the world that my strawberry plants are going rabid.

Then, as I was harvesting mint this evening, I noted again the same slimy froth (eggs???) along with the tiny little whitish/greenish worms.

Anyone know what these are?

And anyone know of a good organic/natural spray or solution?

YUCK! HELP ME, please!!!
