Pretty Antennae
Many of these species easily identified as a leaf-footed bug by its broad, leaf-shaped tibia have a variation of yellow orange on their antennae, and this is also pretty good dorsal view of the leaf-footed bug, an example of insects that exhibit parental care: when scientists removed leaf-footed bug adults from their young and placed them on a nearby plant, the adult bugs flew back to the nymphs and stayed with them
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!

Charlotte, NC – 2018AUG18 – Eastern Leaf-footed Bug:
Justin and Jenny with their son Will and Justin's mother Debbie invited Joe and me over for a housewarming. We had a great time – my first time meeting Debbie! – and, we love them – and love their house! I saw this now-familiar bug on their porch, so here are somewhat fuzzy cell phone photos of it walking on my one hand and arm in the rain as I photographed it with my other hand!
Hope you enjoy the 25% of 149 photos I took here this day!
