Based on body appearance and CO1 gene sequence, we report a leaf-footed bug, Leptoglossus occidentalis , for the firsttime Korea. The bug was first encountered in Changwon-si Gyeongsangnam-do , Koorea in 2010, and then again in 2011. We should be alert against the species, because it is an important pest of Pinaceae in Europe. Explanatoins on its brief morphology and photographs are provided. The worldwide distribution and life history of the bug, and its damage symptom are introduced briefly herein.
