Here is another charming bug I saw along Piney Woods Church Road today.  I am almost positive that it is a Leaf-Footed Bug nymph, quite possibly Acanthocephala terminalis.  Despite bearing a passing resemblance to a Wheel Bug sans wheel, Leaf-footed Bugs are harmless vegetarians that feed on the juices of plants rather than those of other insects.
