Leaf-footed bugs are related to stink bugs. They can be distinguished from other types of stink bugs by the leaf-like appendages on their hind legs.
Leaf-footed bugs insert their piercing-sucking mouthparts into the fruit of a tomato to feed. They leave whitish blemishes in the fruit that make the fruit unpalatable. It is important to catch them early or control will be difficult.

The reason why neem oil etc. won’t work is because they don’t eat the skin, they pierce into the fruit (kind of like a hummingbird) i hate those things
