This is the adult form. It was spotted on the same area,, and I've saw them hanging together.. the red nymph and brown adult..
But , it might be different sp, i don't know
Alicelongmartin, indeed,
the damaged plant has shown in the picture, coused by this amazing bugs
Probably not a Leaf-footed Bug. These nymphs are always tricky to ID. I am not really sure about the family, maybe Lygaeidae or Rhopalidae?? I do not think it is Pyrrhocoridae.
Looks like they can cause a lot of damage!
