I am not sure what the technical term of this insect is....but they resemble small plant leaves. I am sure there are many species but my quesiton is....what do they typically eat? Are they harmful to plants (orchids in particular)? I love these insects but my girlfriend is worried about them eating her orchids. Any flower people out there that can help? I do not want to harm them.

Thanks for the help.
