Answer
Bobbie,

This is called a leaf-footed bug (Coreidea). They are harmless and don't need to be controlled. Many bugs like this enter homes in the fall looking for sheltered areas for winter. The more common bugs to exhibit this behavior are boxelder bugs (see http://www.livingwithbugs.com/boxelder.html) and stink bugs, all are basically harmless.
