Leaf-footed Bug

[NateS]

Genus - Leptoglossus

Looks remarkably similar to an assassin bug.

Crazy looking bug. Nice shots.

Cool colors! That is a pretty weird mix of leaf footed and assassin bug with the folded beak.

Thanks guys. I knew (but wasn't positive) that it was a leaf-footed and not an assassin...but not being 100% I wasn't brave enough to pick him up (an assassin will tear your world up if you pick it up).

Love the color and composition. Great sharp focus. I think I would like them a little better without the empty space between the leaves in the background. Something a little smoother and more consistent in the background.

Other than that great shots!

Well, that's an odd thing... Nice shots!

Thanks...unfortunately I don't have much control over where the bug stands so empty space between the 2 leaves was all I was given.

Thanks Denny
