Coreidae, Coreinae, Anisoscelini, most probably an Anisoscelis sp. nymph. They are tricky to ID, despite the typical flag-like legs. http://www.flickr.com/photos/botalex/2924494301/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/verawald/4538368287/ http://www.scielo.br/pdf/rbent/v49n1/23795.pdf http://www.flickr.com/photos/jakza/4444047787/ I would not dare to get down to species level from the available information.
