Found in Georgetown, SC this morning (it’s dead)
Body is appx 1.5 in. long
Looks like one, but the huge back legs don’t seem to be in any photos I looked at online
I still have the insect
It looks like some species of leaf-footed bug to me.

Interesting page. I would go for the canvas-wrap print.
Thought the thread would be about mono or such.
Yes, family Coreidae. Probably a member of the genus Acanthocephala, but I haven’t found an exact species match yet.
It looks like what we used to call a stink bug.
Stink bugs are a member of the same order, Hemiptera, but a different family, Pentastomidae.
After reviewing information, I’m going to go with Acanthocephala declivus, the Giant Leaf-footed Bug. It has something odd going on with its back just below the head, but overall it seems to match very well.
