Leaf-footed bugs are members of the order, Hemiptera, and in the true bug family, Coreidae. They get their name from the flattened, leaf-like flare on the lower portion of their legs. Adults are quite large in size about 3 cm long. Nymphs are about 1 cm in size.

I was fortunate to spot 4 Leaf-footed bug nymphs on a single leaf of which one of them could had been moulted not too long go as its exoskeleton was still nearby. Only 3 obedient ones lined up nicely in a single file, the shy one preferred to hide behind the leaf. 3 images were stacked to get the 3 bugs in focus. I welcome you critique and comments for improvement.

Exif : Canon 5D2, 180T, f11, 1/13s, ISO 400, natural light.

Excellent shot, I like the vivid green and the leading line created by the bugs.
