CLOSED: What kind of bug?

Orlando, FL(Zone 10a)

What kind of bug is this? Every year I see them on the side of the house and in the nearby garden. They don't bother me so I don't bother them but I'm wondering what they are.

This is a nymph of a leaf-footed bug (Hemiptera/Heteroptera: Coreidae); likely that of an introduced species, the giant sweet potato bug, Spartocera batatas - see http://tinyurl.com/4jrktmr for an image and http://tinyurl.com/4vndzm5 for detailed information.
