Leaf Footed Bug

Dear Venom,
You may have unwittingly identified your insect since it is a Leaf Footed Bug in the family Coreidae, and we believe it is
Anisoscelis affinis based on images posted to BugGuide.  This Mexican species has been reported from southern Texas.  Stephanie Sanchez has also photographed them in Broward County Florida based on her Steph’s Virtual Garden: Bugs website.
