I am no expert by far so I may be wrong but I think the Coreidae nymphs like Leptoglossus have the flattened back legs like the adults. I have seem these nymphs in the same areas as Coreidae adults and nymphs though. possibly in the superfamily Coreoidea though at least if its not an assassin bug nymph.
