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.

This cool sculpture is actually a rain water collector for Tanner Springs park (right of photo). The rain collects in the leaf, runs down the stem (middle support), over to and down the stairs in an open metal gutter, and into the pond.
I'm going to retake this at twilight, when the sky is nice and electric blue ..

I was walking recently, and the sun was almost gone. This leaf caught my eye, and I moved until I had this composition. Taken in Preston County.

A leaf from a Sycamore tree held close by stems of a fern, In the summer the leaf helped shade the fern from the summer sun, Now, after the leaf has lived its life cycle and fallen. The leaf will decay and help feed the fern for future growth.
Liked the colours on this one, looked a bit weird laying across the path taking a picture of a leaf though!

A collection of freshly fallen leaves on top of snow that fell overnight. This might be what a leaf sees as it floats to the ground.
