Bruchomorpha is a genus of small planthoppers in the family Caliscelidae, often referred to as "piglet bugs" due to their unique, snout-like head projections. These insects are characterized by a compact, oval body and are typically brachypterous, meaning they possess very short wings that do not cover the entire abdomen, giving them a nymph-like appearance even as adults. They are widely distributed across North America and are most commonly found in grassy or brushy habitats, where they feed on the sap of various grasses and herbaceous plants.
