Leaffooted Bugs

picture of an Eastern Leaf-footed Bug

Leaffooted Bugs (Coreidae) feed mostly on seeds and fruits, and therefore are considered agriculture pests.

Most species have a dark brown or gray body. The picture shows the Eastern Leaf-footed Bug and highlights the unusual look of the hind legs in many species.
