Thank you, bayucca and Mark Ridgway ^^ Very difficult to identify a nymph ^^

Yes, Pentatomoidea nymph, but I cannot tell you if it is a Pentatomidae or Scutelleridae or at least I would tend to one of these families.

Hi Fabiola. Lovely photo. This is an early instar or nymph of a pentatomidae 'bug' (also called stink bugs or shield bugs). This group of bugs undergoes five changes, shedding a skin and looking different each time. https://www.google.com.au/search?biw=1598&bih=901&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=pentatomidae+java+nymph&oq=pentatomidae+java+nymph&gs_l=img.12...36153.36541.0.37555.2.2.0.0.0.0.198.393.0j2.2.0....0...1c.1.36.img..2.0.0.s4T9zkircwk#imgdii=_
