It is definitely a bug (which is a subgroup of insects). Belongs to a group called the Heteroptera. It's hard to tell with all of the camouflage on it. This group is nearly all plant suckers (they have piercing mouthparts like a mosquito only bigger). A small group (assassin bugs and bedbugs) suck blood from humans and, the former, transmit Chagas disease, but this one is definitely a plant biter.
The other "bugs" belong to homoptera, but they have transparent wings, like cicadas.
