Acanthocephala terminalis, known as clown lice or stink bugs or leaf-footed lice, lives on leaf branches.

Acanthocephala terminalis are typically about 18â25 mm long, with a dark gray to black color. The fourth (and final) segment of their antennae is orange, and the tibiae of their hind legs appear flat and leaf-like. Sexual dimorphism is relatively limited. The hind femur and the broadened shape of the hind tibia may vary slightly in shape, while body size remains relatively constant.
