True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and Allies (Order Hemiptera)
Leaf-footed bugs are medium to large sized insects that feed on fruits, fruiting vegetables, nuts, and ornamentals. They have piercing-sucking mouthparts that allow them to feed on plant parts, particularly seeds. Leaf-footed bugs are in the family Coreidae and get their name from the small leaf-like enlargements found on the hind leg.
