The Florida leaf-footed bug (Acanthocephala femorata) is a species of insect.

[2] Acanthocephala femorata is found in the continental United States and Mexico.

[1] This insect is considered a pest, eating and causing damage to citrus and roses.

It has long, slim, curving antennae with distinctive orange tips.

Many do not make it past the larval stage; parasitic flies often lay their eggs within the developing larvae, paralyzing them.
