Leaf-footed Bug - Acanthocephala terminalis
Norris City, White County, Illinois, USA
September 21, 2006
I don't know what kind of insect this is, but, to me, it looks quite similar to the one I have linked with it, only darker in color. That's why I have named it Remus. The other one is named Romulus. I have only linked them together to show their similarities, and once identified, will unlink them. Note the closeness of dates when both photographs were taken - September 17th and September 21st.
