There are two Leaf-footed bugs, adult and larva. They are probably the same species. They are feeding. Is it parental care or just a coincidence?
Shrubs in semidesert.

Thank you Sergio for the input. Thanks Jill.
Again, Luis: I've seen several scenes like this. Leaf footed bugs tend to stay together while they grow up and, as they have different rates of growth, it is often possible to find bugs in different stages of development - including adults. I don't think that coreid bugs have parental behavior. But, of course, I am not an expert...
Nice series
