The leaf-footed plant-bug is of a reddish- brown color, with a long, sharp beak, and a transverse yellowish-white band across its wing-covers. The wings, when raised, show the body, which is of a bright-red color, with black spots. The shanks of the hind legs are flattened out into leaf-like append- ages, as shown in Fig. 396. This insect is said to puncture the tender shoots and ter- minal branches of the orange-tree, often killing them. It also injures ripe plums,.
