This guy seriously looked like a leaf stuck on the side of our van. When husband tried to "flick" it off, he didn't WANT to be flicked off and just moved over a little bit. Has been in same spot all day.

This is currently our only

THANKS Sphinx
I think so too, after I posted it I found another one on this website.
Thank you for the clarification. She's really cool!
