"Zelus renardii", the leaf hopper assassin bug, is a predacious insect contained within tribe Harpactorini. Diurnal and found on both wild and crop plants, "Z. renardii" has spread from its native habitats in western North and Central America into three other biogeographic regions across the globe.
