Dicyrtomidae
Very early juvenile instar. Possibly just hatched from egg.

Wow...
a newborn. Does the eyespot arrangement change as it ages. This one seems to have very distinctly separated eye pigment spots, while others you've identified seem to have one big eye spot.

Thanks so much for the identification.

The separate eye pigment spots...
you are refering to are actually the ocelli. In adults the ocelli are located on a dark eyepatch. In juveniles the background colouration may not be (fully) developed. In this juvenile you can see the 7 (or 8?) ocelli of the eyepatch.
