Weird moss/weed looking insect...

So... I normally don't give a crap about insects other than when they're biting me, but yesterday when I was sitting outside, this really weird looking little creature crept across the patio.

At first I thought it was an ant carrying something. I flipped it over, but the "piece of moss" actually IS the insect. It's very small, green, and it looks like a little piece of moss or a tiny bud of weed, with tiny little legs I can't quite see, and I think a tiny head with antennas. I don't just mean it has the same color, it has the same exact texture, like a little piece of moss or bud of weed with legs on it. It's the most cleverly disguised thing I ever saw.

Does anyone know what this could possibly be?

And no, I wasn't smoking any weed, although that might have explained it...
