Leaf Bug

This post is just for Em.  A few days ago I was taking the garbage out to the dumpster and on the wall near our front door was this bug.  At first I thought it was a leaf.  I thought it was an odd place for a leaf to be resting and was curious on how it stuck to the wall.  As I got closer I realized it was a bug.  I have never seen one of these kind of bugs before.  The official name is leaf bug.  Not very original, but it fits! 

The leaf bug is actually quite large--longer than my middle finger but smaller than the length of my hand.  It stayed on our wall for two days, in pretty much the same spot.  We took many pictures (just for Emily because she has a fascination with bugs) and it has taken me some time to narrow down the best two.  So, here you go!
