Leaf-footed Bug

Deciduous forests, woodlands, gardens, agricultural areas, and urban structures

Herbivorous; uses piercing-sucking mouthparts to feed on plant sap, fruits, seeds, and stems

Diurnal active fliers that overwinter as adults in sheltered spaces like tree bark or human dwellings; distinguished by leaf-like expansions on their hind legs

Harmless to humans as they do not bite or sting; can occasionally be minor agricultural or garden pests by feeding on crops and fruits
