Leptoglossus corculus
Leaf-footed Pine Seed Bug
Leptoglossus corculus is a North American leaf-footed bug in the family Coreidae. As a member of the genus Leptoglossus, it shares the characteristic expanded, leaf-like hind tibiae that give the group its common name. The species is associated with pine and other conifer hosts, feeding on seeds and developing cones. It is one of several Leptoglossus species found in eastern and central North America, distinct from the more widely publicized western conifer seed bug (L. occidentalis).
