What really amazes me here is the geometry. Astonished!!! Great capture. Thanks for sharing.
The MnMs
Gracias, Ismael! Son chinches pero aun no tengo ni idea de que especie.
The MnMs
No, se que son chinches (stinkbugs) pero no la especie..necesito un experto, i need an expert to suggest me an ID :-)

Espectacular la foto. Aun no sabes que eran. Me encantaria a veces seguir la vida de estas pequenieses. Suerte con eso!
The MnMs
Es la primera vez que las veo, aunque debe de ser muy comun, ya que chinches hay tambien aqui en Europa. Pero tuve suerte de encontrarmelas. de hecho, me las señalo mi novio Mark, pero yo era la que llevaba mejor camara para macro :-)

Puede ser difícil encontrar la especie porque cambian de estadio en tres días (más o menos) y no hay fotos de todos. Ánimo y suerte, con paciencia lo encontrarás, merece la pena pues es un buen spotting.
The MnMs
Gracias Eulalia! Lo he puesto en el ID, aunque aun no he encontrado el nivel de especie.

This is so cool Marta! I love the translucent egg cases and the cute hoard of striped baby bugs! I wonder what they are...
The MnMs
Yes, it was a cool finding! All the mymphas are around their egg cases, but Ihave yet no idea what they can be. I have to keep checking..

Wonderful! Yes, that is what it is. If this is somewhere you go regularly, you may be able to watch them grow through their different stages, as they tend to stay in one area for a while. :)
