This creature has been 'bothering' me. On second thoughts, the antennae look a bit too stout for an Assassin species so I am now wondering about a Squash Bug instead. Probably a nymph (juvenile stage) and something like the Dock Bug Coreus marginatus; but this is a rather specialist subject and I'm no expert!

This one may be difficult to ID but it certainly looks like one of the Assassin Bug family. Always difficult to see these tiny bugs and get a good focus. I assume you used manual focus to get it this clear.

Looks like in might be some type of "wheel bug", or other developing assassin. Good shot at any rate.
