Sure looks like...
...previously posted photos of Two-spotted Tree Crickets instars. I have yet to see one myself. While browsing through Eric Eaton's book, however, I ran across a very similar looking bug...Nabicula subcoleoptrata (a Damsel Bug.) When an expert ID's this bug, I'd like to know the differences between the two.

 
nymph
The damsel bug's antennae have four distinct parts and this nymph's antenna seems to have many more sections. I'm also having a problem getting onto FB in order to post photos. I'll keep trying.
