Learned something
Thank you, Ken, for the quick ID. Appears to be quite common, so I apprecaite you keeping my photos in the guide. I wondered whether there was something wrong with the hindlegs but that's characteristic for these "Leaf-footed" bugs!

 
Worth keeping :)
The pics are clear, and the specimen is only the second submitted for FL in January.
