Scutelleridae, Palomena sp. and most probably Palomena prasina, very similar to Palomena viridissima. Last instar of a nymph. Key criteria is the length of the antennae segments, in Prasina #3 of the segments is longer than #2, in Viridissima #3 is equal to #2: Viridissima: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Palomena_viridissima_2008_(1).JPG Prasina: http://www.naturspaziergang.de/Wanzen/Wanzen-Fotos/Palomena_prasina_Larve-a.jpg
