I just have to say this:
OK, does this bug have the cutest little face, or what!! I'm sure the thing that looks like a smile is not the mouth, but it makes it look like a happy little cartoon bug. Great shot!

Sorry for the exuberance. Please continue with your serious entomological inquiries.

Note also the smiley...
... in the anterior red pigment patch on its dorsum :-)

To me, it's the composed eyes, with their gentle, pleading look, that tug at my scientific heartstrings. Yes, they are very cute.
