    I just wash it of my rosemary with a hose or under the tap if I am using it for cooking. I don't believe it does any damage other than look a little unsightly.

    The bug willl do no damage (or no discernible damage) to the plant. Pick a bit which has no spit on it for cooking. You should be washing it anyway so even if there was a no bit available a quick wash would sort it out.
