Leaf-footed Bug Eggs

Gardens, agricultural fields, and wooded areas on host plants like pomegranate, citrus, and sunflowers.

Eggs do not eat; nymphs and adults use piercing-sucking mouthparts to feed on plant juices and seeds.

Laid in characteristic straight, 'end-to-end' lines on twigs or leaves. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis (egg, nymph, adult).

Generally considered a garden pest as they can cause spotting or shriveling in fruit and seeds; harmless to humans.
