Hello all. I found this tiny little green bug on my t shirt and he loved to climb on me. I put him on my petuna and he crawled on to a leaf. Anyway what kind of insect is he/she??

This looks like a nymph of a specialized type of assassin bug known as an ambush bug. They used to be placed in a separate family, Phymatidae. See http://magickcanoe.com/blog/2006/07/25/meet-the-phymata/
