I recently moved to Georgia and one of the first things I noticed was a really strange little bug that seems to be really common around here. I just really like to know what it is so I can learn something about it. Thanks.

Image is a tad small. Perhaps a flatid planthopper. If so, get rid of it/them.

No that's not it and I think flatid planthoppers are native to Florida or at least the coast.

It's a Assassin Bug Nymph - Reduvius personatus.
They normally pick up lint or other debis for camoflage.
