Thanks Brad and Boris.
If Brad is right then it's inconclusive, so it stays right where it is.

Oh, you Erbsenzähler!
(=person counting the peas)

I liked to tell it IS an Anthocorid!

Ahh,
good to hear. I'll move it then. It did remind me of that family, some of which are flightless, so possibly it's *not* a nymph (although I still think it is).

nymph, definitely
You can see the wing sheats, which look different as reduced wings would.

neat
Habitus reminds me of Anthocoridae, but it could easily be something else.
