Emerald green leaf "something or other"?

Stepped out side and noticed crawling up the side of my house was this little fellow:

100% crop of his mug:

I got to say, I really don't care for the exposures in these. Shot around 4pm, the lighting is really harsh, full on. It was either shoot his back side, or go in from the either side.

At anyrate, what the heck is he?
