I found this fellow on the back porch this morning and he was quite nice about posing for some photos.
What I could find about him on the internet tells me he is a Leaf Bug of the order of Phasmida. The internet also said that he is most often found in Australia and Southeast Asia. I’m guessing he’s a little off course, but I have seen them here in Arizona before.
Up close and personal he’s a little intimidating.
PS: On a happy note, I believe we may have found new renters! There’s still more to do to complete the process, but so far it’s looking promising. :)

Looks like a Katydid to me!!! Order Orthoptera :) I think they are a cool looking bug if you ask me.

very cool looking bug. I have never seen one like that. Super neat!!!
I hope the new renters are better to your house than the old ones were.
I hope Mom feels better. Sometimes we just feel neglected. MB
A beautiful Katydid!
Be safe one day at a time.
These bugs scream? Ewww!
Keeping fingers crossed about your possible new tenants.
Another awesome bug shot!
I've never seen a bug like that. You got fantastic pictures of it!
You got some great photos of this unique guy! He certainly does look very much like a leaf.
I think she/he is beautiful. No, I am not looking for a lunch companion--grin!
