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.

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.

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

Four perspectives of a leaf-footed bug nymph, which has a black and white body with banded legs and antennae. He is positioned among crepe myrtle buds and sitting on leaves.

This very fancy dude was hanging out in one of my crepe myrtles. Leaf-footed bug nymph, species Acanthocephala terminalis. #fancy #leaffootedbug #strikeapose
