True Bugssouth african bug
Hi there
I spotted this insect in a restaurant courtyard in Stellenbosch, South Africa two days ago. If you have time, please could you help me identify it? I thought it might be some kind of stink bug, but I’m really not sure… Thanks

Hi Riana,
This is a Leaf Footed Bug in the family Coreidae. It is the same order as the Stink Bugs, but different family. Sorry we do not know the species.
Update: October 22, 2010
A letter sent to us today was identified as a Tip Wilter, Anoplocnemis curvipes, thanks to the Biodiversity Explorer website, and now we have an identification for this image from our archives.
