      Yes, the little claws remind me of the velvet worm which also has them. How about this though:

        Yes! They do look like the velvet worm's.

        That Leaf-footed Bug is incredible....but, it's feet (tarsi) are just orange. It's the tibia that are fancy and enlarged. So, it's like saying that they have awesome calves. Still a definite compliment for the bug :-D         Posted 6 years ago
