It is a dusty gray color and is hard to misidentify. It is frequently found during the winter, especially when cleaning up fallen leaves or gardens (Valerie, 2012). http://www.austinbug.com/coreidae.html

These bugs feed on a wide variety of developing fruit, including cotton, peaches, and tomatoes, and seeds such as beans, black-eyed peas, and sorghum (Texas A&M University, 2018). https://texasinsects.tamu.edu/leaffooted-bug/

Females mate more than once, despite the attendant cost of reduced feeding opportunities (Eberhard, 1998). https://academic.oup.com/aesa/article-abstract/91/6/863/10543?redirectedFrom=fulltext

Acanthocephala or Leaf footed Bugs are distinctive, nearly inch-long stately insects in the Coreidae family. Leaf footed bugs are named for the leaf-like expansions of the hind tibia and femora. They have four-segmented antennae, large compound eyes and one pair of ocelli, or simple eyes. The Latin name Acanthocephala means “spiny head” (Maher & Afnan, 2016). http://www.greatlakesprovings.com/acanthocephala-terminalis-leaf-footed-bug.html

The males of this large, plant-eating family have unusually thick thighs, often edged with spikes. Their lower legs may also be flat and shaped somewhat like a dried leaf. These parts of the leg are used to fight other males in order to win a female to mate with (Insect Identification, 2019). https://www.insectidentification.org/insect-description.asp?identification=Leaf-Footed-Bug

The animal lives in a wide range of habitats, including open woods, deciduous forests, and farmland. It prefers wet areas like swamps, marshes and streams (Animalia, 2008). http://animalia.bio/virginia-opossum

Deciduous teeth eruption is quite unique in the opossum. Incisors and canines as well as most cheek teeth begin to erupt and then are reabsorbed and replaced by adult teeth (Pollock, 2018). https://lafeber.com/vet/basic-information-sheet-virginia-opossum/

The opossum has been around for at least 70 million years and is one of Earth's oldest surviving mammals (Nature Works, 2010)! https://nhpbs.org/natureworks/opossum.htm

Virginia opossum, (Didelphis virginiana), the only marsupial (family Didelphidae, subfamily Didelphinae) found north of Mexico (Gardner, 2014). https://www.britannica.com/animal/Virginia-opossum

In the wild, Virginia Opossums will eat insects, crustaceans, mollusks, frogs, and reptiles living near streams, other small animals, and the meat and eggs of birds that make their nests on or close to the ground (Animals of North America, 2015). https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/virginia-opossum-facts-animals-of-north-america.html

After mating, females lay their eggs in twigs 1∕4 to 1∕2 inch in diameter.  Female cicadas slice into wood and deposit one to several dozen eggs in one branch.  Eggs remain in twigs or branches for six to ten weeks before hatching (Williamson, 2012). https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/cicadas-0/

Cicadas feed on the roots of many woody plants. Oaks are commonly attacked, but some other preferred trees include apple, ash, dogwood, hawthorn, hickory, maple, mountainash, and willow (Mahr, 2018. https://wimastergardener.org/article/cicadas/

Cicadas of the subfamily Cicadinae tend toward large size and loud, complex songs, often with complex frequency harmonics (Latreille, 1802). http://www.insectsingers.com/100th_meridian_cicadas/

Male cicadas produce loud noises by vibrating membranes (tymbals) near the base of the abdomen (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2016). https://www.britannica.com/animal/cicada

Megatibicen resh (formerly Neotibicen resh and Tibicen resh) is commonly known as the Resh Cicada because the markings on its back resemble the Hebrew symbol Resh “ר”. The Resh Cicada has been documented to be found in Arkansas, Kansas, Lousiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennesee, and Texas (Dan, 2018). https://www.cicadamania.com/cicadas/megatibicen-resh-aka-the-resh-cicada/
