Coreidae, Coreinae, Acanthocephala sp., nymph, and looks like being Acanthocephala terminalis, however, nymphs are usually very tricky to determine, so I would go with Acanthocephala cf. terminalis (meaning, has yet to be confirmed, which probably actually would never happen, unless there is an expert around). http://bugguide.net/node/view/406918/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/810872/bgimage This one is a perfect match with yours! http://bugguide.net/node/view/826118/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/782823/bgimage
