I saw this tiny pile of debris trundling along the deck railing.

The trashy pack on its back is made of lichen, leaves and dead bodies.

After it sucks the life-blood out of a victim, it stacks its body parts on its back to use as camouflage.

The messy mass moves along slowly searching for its next meal and fashion accessory.
I have to admit I think they are cute once you get past the extra legs sticking out of its back.

I watched it for quite a while.
Its pack on its back jiggled as it moved. Comical.

I just read an article about how good they are for your garden. Their eggs are like tiny lollipops and the nocturnal adults are so pretty!
