Field Notes

Description:

I'm pretty certain he is in the family Coreidae, though not sure of the species. Small brown Hemipteran, with flattened structure on hind leg specific of leaf-footed bugs.

Notes:

Found him slowly crossing the sidewalk in a neighborhood. He was missing one of his hind legs. Relocated him to a plant so not to be squashed by unnoticing passerby.
