I disagree
not an overabundance of nymphs for this species in guide.

It's an immature Acanthocephala

Thanks
Thanks Hannah

I've no other shots that show the hind leg flanges to better advantage, but I do remember noting the angular shape of them. I'm very grateful for your i.d.

I think we can safely call this declivis
- those tubercles don't seem to appear on any other nymphs of this genus.
