Please, change the common name as well, thanks. Box Bug Nymph or Cimice del nocciolo Ninfa.

Cool! That's almost as valuable as an expert confirmation ;-)...

Actually there was a lot of G. acuteangulatus on bushes nearby. Thanks for the ID

Coreidae, Coreinae, Gonocerus acuteangulatus, mid instar nymph. It is a Leaf-footed Byg, not a Stink Bug. Looking at several pictures of nymphs, which are usually very tricky to impossible to ID, I think yours should be Gonocerus acuteangulatus. Maybe you can see some adults on the same bushes or trees. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ashe/5780517848/in/pool-301751@N25 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonocerus_acuteangulatus http://artengalerie.makro-forum.de/displayimage.php?album=1497&pos=2 http://www.britishbugs.org.uk/heteroptera/idcards/g_acuteangulatus.jpg http://www.natur-in-nrw.de/IMG/Tiere/Insekten/Wanzen/TWA-504/larven.jpg http://www.natur-in-nrw.de/HTML/Tiere/Insekten/Wanzen/TWA-504.html http://www.galerie-insecte.org/galerie/view.php?adr=.%2Fimage%2Fdos40%2Ftemp%2Faradidae_0685.jp.jpg http://www.insecte.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=44643&view=next
