What are these bugs?
Hi,
We were wondering if you could tell us what type of bugs are on our tomato plants? Thanks,

Hi Fred and Rosemary,
These are some species of Coreid Bug, commonly known as Leaf-Footed or Big Legged Bugs. We believe it is some species in the genus Leptoglossus, but cannot find a species match. We will check with Eric Eaton and try to get an exact species.
