They are assassin bugs Howard, they're just a sub-group of assassin bugs with leaf-like feet. :)
I've been seeing lots of variations of these guys all over. I've always heard them called assassin bugs, apparently they go by a lot of other names. I like the website. Thanks
That looks like the nymph of a leaf-footed bug: http://bugguide.net/node/view/93/bgpage
