Female Leaf-footed Bug - Thasopsis formidabilis (Coreidae, Coreinae, Nematopodini) *109h-7953

This large colourful bug is easily identified as a member of the family Coreidae by its small head and heavily veined wings. The following photo is of a nearby male and the third photo in this series is of a nymph of a different species but in the same genus. Many male Coreids have enlarged hind femurs (as in this case) while others have leaf-like expansions on their tibiae or antennae. The extreme tibial expansions of a few species give rise to the family's common name of Leaf-footed Bugs. The following link will take you to a previously posted photograph that I took last year in Costa Rica:
