Based on body appearance and COI gene sequence, we report a leaf-footed bug, Leptoglossus occidentalis (Hemiptera: Coreidae), for the first time from Korea. The bug was first encountered in Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea in 2010, and then again in 2011. We should be alert against the species, because it is an important pest of Pinaceae in Europe. Explanations 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.
