- The biology of leaf-footed bugs is explained in this video and whether or not you need to worry about them in your home. Like other hemipterans (assasin or wheel bugs, bed bugs, and stink bugs) compared in this video, Leaf-footed Bugs (family: Coreidae) have a proboscis or stabbing, sucking mouth parts. Leaf-footed Bugs are easily identified by their wide leg bases that are said to look like a leaf.

Hi Frank. From Pennsylvania buddy /student Jeff. This was an awsome video. Your still teaching. ME. today we were high mowing our grassland that we planted last year. Alot of the native weeds and wildflowers are growing very well. BUT Japanese thistle was trying to move into the area. Our biologist recommended high mowing. To keep the thisle from seeding. Now the good part. I got to see a brand new little whitetail fawn. And mamma was watching. I moved him out of harms way. And next round mamma was there and he was getting a meal. God is good and I work in his handiwork. . Your buddy Jeff.
Thanks for sharing your day with me!
When we lived in Germany one autumn our uppermost room was invaded by ladybugs. The glued themselves to the tall, slanted ceiling. Other than a slight smell when I got close to them on a ladder they were no problem. We moved back to the States during the winter so I’ve no idea what came of them. As a rule I use a feather duster to coax insects in the house away from the windows toward a door if I can’t trap them with a glass instead. Although while in New Mexico I caught a large red and black wasp with a plastic dish and sheet of paper and let it go. It didn’t act very aggressive so I thought it was just a good deed done. Later I found out that it was a tarantula wasp that has a very painful sting. Luckily most insects are benign and easily moved outdoors. I’m so glad you are acquainting us with these otherworldly, alien-looking, earth species.
Check out my episodes on Asian Lady beetles!! Thanks for sharing your observations and experiences!
No stink bugs, or leaf-footed bugs where I live, but the Asian Lady bug is here, and they bite !!
Yikes! On the multi colored asian lady beetles. 😖
I like Hemipterans . Thanks
Fascinating diverse group!
Years ago in Southern California I came across a Manzanita bush that was covered in Hemipterans , it seemed like a million of them and kinda freaked me out . I had never seen so many bugs on a bush before . I think that they were Chinch bugs or False Chinch bugs . I love your channel , Sir .
The pattern on the wings is beautiful! Great video!!
I was thinking the same thing! So neat to see them close up like this.
Very cool to see things up close!
They have a beautiful pattern on their wings.☺️
Yes it is! 👍🙂
Mr. Taylor, I have coincidentally became your biggest fan! Your awesome!
Ha! Well! WELCOME TO MY WORLD, ALLEN!!
@@natureatyourdoor Your awesome man! The way you speak on these videos, almost reminds me of Bill Nye 😂 sorry I was a rowdy student, knowing what I know now, your a role model of mine now and should have been all along!
@AllenOBerry-xw1zg Dude ...I only have positive memories of you! All good! Thanks for super kind and supportive words...I am thrilled that today you enjoy what I share!
@@natureatyourdoor haha I was a punk man, I'm conscious enough to understand what I was. But because of teachers like you I was able to learn. Radford is lucky to call you their own.
Pretty common in my area. They smell like apples. Kinda cool.
They ARE kinda 😎!
I can't imagine how many bugs are in my house. I know I'm only seeing a few of what's actually here. As long as I don't have bedbugs or cockroaches, though, I think I'll live.
Ha! Right?
A couple of years ago my workplace was infested with these guys! It was a running joke that no matter where you were in the building you could look around and find one at arm's length! Love this video! Thanks as always for spreading knowledge and reducing fear!
You are welcome! Lol..thanks for sharing YOUR story!
If they are not paying accommodations, they better think twice to stay in my house. I don't mind the lady bugs or imitation of them but when it comes stink bugs and relatives they can stay outside.
Lolol! Right? 👍💪!
I call them "bug-sloths", leaf footed bugs are so slow and chill!
Ha! Good name! So true!
Just caught one on my curtain! Never seen them before.
Funny little guys aren't they? 🙂
Good morning Frank! Thanks for the info on this cool looking bug! Take care... be safe....GOD bless! 🙂
God bless you, too Judy!
Great information! I like how you show the paper and jar method to safely capture insects. That other contraption is cool, too!
Bugzooka! Lol...i use it extensively when filming wasps and when I did my black widow spider episode!
@@natureatyourdoor I'll have to check out that video. Love the name of the tool. 😁
Awesome video Frank , 😊
Thank you, Jungle Room!
Thank you so much! Informative and useful.
You're very welcome!
They move their back legs simultaniously and separately! Thanks for sharing, and enjoy your weekend Frank! It's cold here in IL. 🙄 .. 🥰
:-) super cold here today..in two days from 72 to 23!
@@natureatyourdoor Sounds like our weather(s) are definitely competing. Stay bundled up so we both don't get sick 🧥🧢🧣🧤!!
Not any of these, but stink bugs and lady bugs for sure.
Those are the two biggee's!
darn found one the other day ago. i put it outside thinking it was a stink bug. but definitely too long and long ass antennae. kind of funny because i found a ladybug the day before. those are the only two bugs ive had this winter so far lol
😃👍
I live in Connecticut and have not found one yet. If I find one, I will just let it go outside as I do stink bugs. It is still very warm here for November. I am not afraid of insects or spiders. Nice to learn about the Leaf-footed bug. I almost want to find one.
Hi Kary Ann ..crazy warm November here too...until TODAY!
One year our home was inundated by lady bugs. They may have been initially attracted to a sunny, white stucco wall. They found a way inside and overwintered on the tall wood ceiling of one room. They distinctly smelled so I tried to catch them release outside before it got too cold. But they were glued fast to the ceiling.
We also lived for a time in New Mexico where there were big black and red wasps. They were large, bumbling, and cumbersome so I didn’t take them seriously. One got into our office at work and I caught it with a plastic bowl and piece of paper and released it, as one would do with a bee or moth. Afterwards my coworker told me what I’d caught. I was so thankful that I’d not been stung as it was some sort of a tarantula wasp.
Wow and gosh on the tarantula wasp!!! And yes..such an attraction to light colored south and west facing walls!
I love discovering these little ones in our house. I am always concerned though if our house is warm they won't hibernate and die? Are they able to still hibernate with out feeling cool? I worry they are going to think its summer and roam the house looking for food?
I think insects that over winter need low temp to reduce metabolism so they don't use up energy reserves and starve by spring....also indoor environment is so dry they will desicate !
I live in Ohio. Last year I was dog sitting and the back of the whole house was covered with assassin bugs! I was like 😱 they would get in the house every time I opened the door. Finally I made up a home solution and spray the house. It worked but it was crazy. These bugs look quite like them.
Yes they do! Also similar to stink bugs and kissing bugs!
So….. what to do when you find one 2 inches long and 3 inches wide on your home??😱😱. I have had wheel bugs in the past. We live across from a farm and I have seen things since moving here that have thrown me for a loop but this thing….😭😭😭 It was HUGE!! (Not exaggerating since here at all btw)
Wow! That was a BIG bug...could it have been the GIANT Water BUG? also a hemipteran and maybe largest insect in NA!
Actually, I’ve got a similar observation. As a ten-year old at an Oregon camping site I saw huge lady bugs. It was like an episode of the twilight zone.; very disquieting. There was water running from a hillside spring that was supporting lush plant life. Some of it was heavily coated with aphids and these lady bugs were calmly munching away on them. They weren’t roundish lady bugs grown huge, but more of a bigger pear-shaped lady bug.
HATE stink bugs
Not much to like. Unless there is just one.
Still haven't found one myself thank goodness
👍😃!
how do we know if its a chagas bug that can bite us and cause heart failure
Chagus bugs have skinny legs and yellow or range markings. I think i,am going to do a chagus bug episode comparing them with look-a-likes!
@@natureatyourdoor how about one on bush honeysuckle
@@spacecatboy2962 yup! Planned for this spring with their emergence of leaves well before any other bush or tree here! You can see the population a mile away!
@@natureatyourdoor yeah they are horrible, this summer i cut hundreds of them on a small area, some were 7 inches wide at the base.
@@spacecatboy2962 yup. Sigh.
