Thasus gigas is a species of leaf-footed bug in the family Coreidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
T. gigas is often found in Prosopis or Acacia Trees.[1]
T. gigas is diurnal, and thus mostly active during the day.
Unlike insects that undergo complete metamorphosis, hemimetabolous insects like T. gigas do not have a pupal stage. Instead, the nymph stage resembles the adult stage, but without wings or functional reproductive organs.
