Thanks Frans!

Sminthurus
Hi Tom. Note the relatively long subsegmented fourth antennal segment and the convex 'cheeks', typical for Sminthurus.

What a neat
picture Tom, reminds me of a little insect a child might make out of clay.

 
I wouldn't have seen it except
that I noticed a tiny speck jump onto a light colored rock right where I was watching a beetle.
