This sort of looks like an aphid nymph, but I kind of don't think it is. I'm guessing it is not an adult, but could be wrong. It is something like 3 mm long. 5x epi-DF.

The stereo versions seem somewhat useful... I'll get around to finishing this all up in the next couple of days.

Thanks!
Mike

Hi Mike,

Yes, it's very likely an immature stage, a nymph. You can see the developing wings on the thorax.

As it is immature, it's not that easy to determine. It doesn't have siphons on its abdomen, so it's not an aphid.

I'd say it's the nymph of a True bug (Heteroptera).

Regards, Ichty

It looks like a leaf hopper nymph to me. I used to see ones very much like this years ago.

Thanks everyone! I'll go with leaf-hopper nymph until further notice.
