Leaf-Footed Bug
Coreidae

Field Notes
Description:
A large bug, 3 to 4 cm long body, mainly brown, with orange discoloration on joints of legs - I believe it may be some assassin bug. Elongated and flattened body, with very long antennae and long legs.
Habitat:
This one have been hanging in our office in Abuja for the last three days... Central area of the city; close to a large lake and green area with a lot of gardens.
Notes:
According to my Internet search, this one closely resembles members of the Acanthocoris or Leptoglossus genus, which are common in many tropical and subtropical regions, including Nigeria.
