Leaf-footed bug

Common on garden plants, shrubs, and trees; often wanders onto walls and window screens.

Pierces fruits, seeds, and plant stems to suck sap.

Adults are elongated brown bugs, often with expanded hind-leg areas; they may gather on plants or overwinter in sheltered places. The photo does not show enough detail for reliable species identification.

Harmless to people and not a household pest, though some species damage fruit and garden crops. They are part of the food web for birds and other predators.
