Crevices in buildings, the ground, and woody vegetation are places where leaf-footed bugs live. The insects in question (Hemiptera true bug order) prey upon cones, flowers seedlings, and seeds. They will deposit their eggs on deciduous and evergreen host trees since they particularly relish conifer seedlings and nuts (especially almond and pistachio).

No, they are not. But at some points, they are related.
Leafhoppers, and Tree Hoppers
Leafhoppers excrete a sugary sap that is collected by meat ants, which help to preserve or be a food source. Meat ants will protect leafhoppers so that they may collect the sap, forming a mutalistic relationship. http://webecoist.com/2009/03/01/symbiotic-bird-animal-relationships/
They are related to leafhoppers, spittlebugs, and thornbugs. NOT grasshoppers or crickets.
There are over 20,000 known species of leafhoppers (family Cicadellidae) worldwide. They are a diverse group of insects found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and agricultural areas. Leafhoppers play significant roles in ecosystems, both as herbivores and as vectors for plant pathogens. Ongoing research continues to discover and describe new species, suggesting that the actual number may be even higher.
beetles, caterpillars, grasshoppers, leafhoppers, and an underground fungus
The leafhopper is an insect that feeds on sap and leaves from different types of plants. These include grasses, sedges, flowers, vegetable, and shrubs. Certain species of leafhoppers, such as potato leafhoppers or rose leafhoppers only feed upon these specific plants.
Yes there are leafhopper viruses. All insects are susceptible to viruses. Leafhoppers have been shown to be infectedd with DNA and/or RNA viruses (Hunter, W., USDA, ARS). They may also be infected with multiple viruses at one time. Leafhoppers, some of which are called sharpshooter leafhoppers, like the glassy-winged sharpshooter also transmit plant viruses as well as plant infecting bacteria (one example: Xylella fastidiosa). Leafhoppers are second in importance (aphids being first) in causing economic losses as they transmit a lot of plant diseases during feeding. Emerging discoveries in leafhopper viruses are trying to use these naturally adapted pathogens to suppress leafhopper pest populations.

Yes. It has 6 legs, 3 body parts(head, thorax, abdomen) It is a type of hemipteran closely related to cicadas and leafhoppers.
