In many leaf-footed bug species, the back legs are wide and leaf-like in shape, but this is not true for all species, including some common varieties like the squash bug.
Like stink bugs, leaf-footed bugs are able to secrete foul-smelling, foul-tasting fluids from pores on the sides of their bodies.
This leaf-footed bug resembles the squash bug in both behavior and appearance, and is sometimes a pest of pumpkins and similar vegetables.

 SDNHM: Kissing Bug
The kissing bug label comes from the insect's ability to steal a blood meal by painlessly piercing the lips, eyelids or ears of a sleeping human victim.
The real problem is that during the feeding process, the bug injects its saliva into the victim, which can result in anaphylactic shock to persons sensitive to the bite.
Adult kissing bugs are most often encountered in summer and fall, and are readily attracted to lights.

 Western Movies @ Filmbug
Westerns are arts works (films, books, television shows, and paintings right off; see Frederic Remington; we focus on movies) devoted to telling romanticized tales of the American West (see Westward Expansion in History of the United States).
In the United States, the western has had an extremely rich history that spans many genres (comedy, drama, tragedy, parody, musical, etc.) The golden age of the western film is epitomised by the work of two directors: John Ford (who often used John Wayne for lead roles) and Howard Hawks.
An offshoot of the western genre is the "post-apocalyptic" western, in which a future society, struggling to rebuild after a major catastrophe, is portrayed in a manner very similar to the 19th century frontier.

 Resistant Turfgrasses for Improved Chinch Bug Management | United States Golf Association
In particular, the geographic distribution of the western chinch bug, and its preferred host, buffalograss, are such that any of the other chinch bug species could be present in adjacent turfgrasses.
The common chinch bug is widely distributed across the east coast and western plains of the United States and south in Mexico.
Because of the extensive geographical overlap of the four economically important chinch bug species and their host plants, the potential exists for the western chinch bug and other chinch bug species to become associated with and damage non-traditional turfgrasses.

These chinch bugs may be capable of reproducing on the ‘secondary host’, but only do so in the absence of their preferred host (Slater 1976).
Chinch bugs were preconditioned by starving them for 24 h prior to the initiation of the experiment while being held under laboratory conditions (26 ± 3º C 16:8 L:D photoperiod).
The number of chinch bugs on each grass was visually determined at 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, and 72 h after chinch bug introduction.

One of the species brought about control of the tarnished plant bug on alfalfa in the northeastern U.S., where recent work suggests that it is decreasing damage by the pest in strawberries and apples.

 Boxelder Bug
The western boxelder bug (Boisea rubrolineata) is often a nuisance pest around and in homes.
Boxelder bugs do not cause significant damage to landscape plants, and management need only be directed at keeping them out of homes, where they may become a nuisance.
Since the box elder tree is the main source of food for the boxelder bug, removing the trees, especially the female or pod-bearing trees, is the most effective way of controlling the pest.
