Are bell bottoms really back? This guy thinks so! Eastern leaf-footed bug having an afternoon climb up my Texas lilac.

Four perspectives on an eastern leaf-footed bug scaling a Texas lilac’s green stems and leaves and brown branches. It is a dark brown, with two dark brown legs with leaf-shaped bottom segments, four other legs, banded antennae, and a two-segment white band on its back.

A young leaf-footed bug hiding among colorful foliage, using its slender body and long antennae to explore its surroundings.

Fun Fact: Leaf-footed bugs get their name from the leaf-like expansions found on the legs of many adult species.

A quiet walk along the edge of a leaf.

Fun fact: Leaf-footed bugs use their leaf-like legs to blend into plants, breaking up their outline so predators miss them.

🪲 It's obvious where the Leaf-Footed Bug get their name!

🍃 Their legs help act as camouflage, but their mouthparts are just as fascinating! Their tubular rostrum have tiny sharp stylets that the bug uses to pierce plant tissue and extract the juices.
