CLOSED: This guy is new to me and I'm not sure what it is?

Wow! This must be the year of bugs. Here is another bug that came to entertain me this morning. I would like help with identifying this insect before I set him free. I was in the woods having coffee this morn and this guy literly popped in. He seems to want to play dead and he is definitely marked to blend in with the bark of trees. And those eyes - at least I think that is his eyes....

Can you help me identify this one? Thank you!
