I found this Leaffooted bug on my carport this morning.

EDIT: I've corrected the kind of insect this is thanks to the expert members here. Thanks.

Very nice shot.
I believe it's a leaffooted bug. Very similar looking to assassins, but they feed on plants vs other bugs.

Thanks. I'm far from being an expert in any way when it comes to insects. Here's a top down look at it.
