Lichen Look-alike

Lichen Look-alike
Fairfax, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
July 25, 2009
Size: 5mm
I've seen a number of these on the trees around here that have lichen growing on them. They seem to vary slightly in color, and the color seems to correspond somewhat to the tree that they're on. I've been completely unable to get a good look at the bug under the camouflage. The one time I managed to get one flipped over all I could see was a whitish underbelly and several short legs before it scurried off.
