That is amazingly beautiful! Once again Project Noah has me in awe of the natural world! Thank you for sharing this picture Lenny!
If this ID is as bayucca suggests (Amissus sp.), then here is the adult. The large shoulders are consistent in the adult and nymph stages. I agree with his suggestion. http://jdmyeepa.wordpress.com/galleries/hemiptera-bugs/shield-and-red-bugs/#jp-carousel-2326
This is really nice. Your are funny Mr. Ridgway :-)
Tessaratomidae nymph, Tessaratominae? Amissus sp.?? http://jdmyeepa.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/tessarotomidae-nymph-possibly-amissus-testaceous.jpg?w=1000&h=
Ha!! I always thought of making my own species with glue and paper. Well done. :-)
