When I found this at night, I wasn't even sure it was an insect. Such an odd shape!

This one...
was at the front door near the porch light. I've not seen any others but now that I know what their egg clusters look like, I may be able to find some in the nearby plantings. Will have a look. Thanks.

Looks like the genus Enchenopa
If you look around on the plants where you found this one, you should be able to find an entire colony on some plant nearby. Then you can ID or photograph the plant and Dr Hamilton will be able to tell you which of the Enchenopa species this is. Images in the guide here
