I had no idea what this was, but it was nicely camouflaged looking like a leaf on my Desert Willow.
Canon 40D after cleaning up my sensor.
He was rather large and I had to combine 2 shots to get the full body view.

Thanks again. That's why I grabbed several angles.
Douglas appears to have renamed it for me. ;)

It was pretty patient but after I left so did he/she.

Nice pictures buttttt, this bug just happens to be a real nemesis if you are a vegetable gardener. They do a lot of damage to your tomatoes and you can also find them on the peppers, cucumbers or whatever else they can suck juice out of. I found them on my blackberries last year. They have no natural predators to help you get rid of them.

No natural predator at all? No control other than human?
