Yes legs look injured but this bug can cause major wilting of growing tips on citrus so may want to remove - but use waterproof gloves - unless you want orange stained fingers

This one much larger and darker than the others in Musgraveia sulciventris (Bronze Orange Bug) Must have just escaped my notice earlier.
