I'm smiling this morning since I know what I was dealing with, but sure was freaked out last night with a mass of unknown wicked looking critters even though I'm bigger than them. LOL : )

Google images of leaf footed bugs and you will see some really creepy looking things and all sorts of them exist. They can be mistaken for Assassin bugs since some of them look so much alike but the tell tale thing is the leaf like thing on the back legs of the adults. Some of the immature leaf footed bugs and Assassin bugs look almost identical but you can clearly see the leaf like back legs on the leaf footed bugs.
