You should try running a stocking around the Skimmer basket for 24 hours and/or try to catch the little guys with the vacuum hose.
Duncs

Only if it is a fairly big leaf and somehow it made it through your skimmer's basket and your pump's basket. But assuming it did the answer is yes, leafs can potentially clog your pump's impeller.
There are many varieties of leaf bugs but their predators are other carnivorous insects, reptiles and birds.
If bugs are'nt filtering out of your pool and you have a filter, obviously your filter is'nt working. Hope this helped. Bugs will naturally swim away from a strong current that is drawing them to a certain point. If the bug is not drawn into either the skimmer or the main drain grate they will never get to the filter. Even then, they will get caught in the skimmer basket or the pump basket. The filter is not intended for catching the bugs - that is what leaf skimmers are for. If thebug is on the bottom of the pool you can then vac it up but still it will only go as far as the pump basket.
The leaf bugs can camoflauge and look like leaves.
Yes, leaf bugs are good for gardens because they eat old leaves so that there is room for new foliage.
Foliage is the diet of pointed leaf bugs. The insects in question (Phylliidae family) sport leaf-like colors and shapes. They will feed upon the leaves of herbaceous or woody plants.
Previous answer: on a leaf Leaf bugs can be found in gardens, woodlands, on orchards and also other type of plants.
If you can get the right skimmer you should not have too much of a problem However if you cant get a replacement you may be able to get out of it by getting a floating pool skimmer with inline leaf basket.
Because the leaf have oxygen and the bugs need it when they eat.That's all i know. Hope that surfs you up!!!
The change that would be most useful for farmers bothered by leaf-munching bugs is physiological,, such as the addition of a bitter taste to the plant's leaves.
Leaf curling spiders eat flying insects and/or other bugs that get caught in it's web?
