Coreidae, commonly known as leaf-footed bugs, are a family of true bugs characterized by their distinctive leaf-like extensions on their hind legs. They belong to the order Hemiptera and are primarily found in warm regions around the world. These insects are typically herbivorous, feeding on the sap of plants, and can be recognized by their elongated bodies and varying colors. Leaf-footed bugs play a role in ecosystems as both herbivores and prey for other animals. Some species can be agricultural pests, affecting crops like tomatoes and cotton. Their unique morphology and behavior make them an interesting subject of study in entomology.
