Default ID Help on this bugger?

Found this guy eating tomatillo leaves today. Was able to knock him off onto a tissue to get this photo. About the size of a long grain of rice.

Thanks in advance for any help in identification.

OK, cool. Thanks! I could have sworn i clearly saw it eating the leaves, but maybe I couldn't see that it was actually eating the thing that was eating the leaves.
