Coreidae
The Coreidae are a large family of predominantly herbivorous insects that belong in the hemipteran suborder Heteroptera. More than 1,900 species are placed in over 270 genera. They vary in size from 7 to 45 mm long, making the larger species some of the biggest heteropterans. The body shape of coreids is quite variable, with some species broadly oval while others are slender. Coreids are found throughout the world, but most species are found in the tropics and subtropics. The common names vary regionally. They are widely referred to as leaf-footed bugs because of the leaf-like expansions some species have on their legs, often on the hind tibiae. In North America, many species are colloquially called "squash bugs", because some species, such as ''Anasa tristis'', are pests of squash plants and other cucurbits. They are also called “twig-wilters” in parts of Africa and Australia. Some coreids, such as ''Phyllomorpha laciniata'', exhibit parental care by carrying their eggs. This behaviour can protect the eggs from parasitism. ==Etymology== The name comes from the Ancient Greek κόρις meaning bedbug.〔http://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/coreidi/〕
