This is a Leaf Footed Nymph bug that I posed for a focus stacking session. You can see from the leaf shaped rear foot that is visible how they got the name.
Thanks in advance to all who view and for your comments, suggestions and critique.

Wait till you find an adult.
Another insect that uses a foul smell as a defense.
A toad will grab them, then make faces as it spits it out. The stickey tongue trys to prevent that. Rather comic scene.
Toad never learns. I think that that proves it is an instinctive reaction to strike.

👍 I have not noticed the spines on the thorax before.
