Bug Light in South Portland ME. This was built by private interests as an aid to navigation inside the harbor for the petroleum docks.
The Looney Tunes came into their own in the 1940's, when many homes still used wood-burning stoves, especially in Europe. So it's rather appropriate to show Bugs and Daffy in front of a wood-burning stove.

Acanthocephala or Leaf footed Bugs are distinctive, nearly inch-long stately insects in the Coreidae family. Leaf footed bugs are named for the leaf-like expansions of the hind tibia and femora. They have four-segmented antennae, large compound eyes and one pair of ocelli, or simple eyes. The Latin name Acanthocephala means “spiny head.”
All species of Coreidae are plant-feeders. Some Coreids live in leaf litter, but most nymphs and adults live above ground on their host plants where they may feed on seeds, fruits, stems or leaves. Many occur on an astonishing variety of plants, while some are restricted to a single host, such as the squash bug, known for its destructive feeding on cucurbitaceae.
These insects have a distinctive proboscis, a “hypodermic-like” beak. “Like all true bugs, the adults are equipped with a beak, or rostrum, a hypodermic needle-like device carried under the head, which it uses to pierce the plant tissue and suck out liquids. They do not simply "suck out sap" they inject a tissue-dissolving saliva and vacuum out the resulting slurry. Bugs cannot ingest solid food, and widespread damage to the plant is a result of these liquefying enzymes.

Ew. This bug crawls up out of our bathtub and sink drains, then dies trying to get out. I find them in glasses, dead. They cannot make a steep climb. They are DISGUSTING.
