Bug on Euphorbia flowers

Bug on Euphorbia flowers
San Antonio, UT Health Science Center campus, Bexar County, Texas, USA
July 2, 2007
Size: 3-5 mm
These pictures were taken using a microscope. I found these bugs when looking at flowers of Tropical Euphorbia (Chamaesyce hypericifolia). I think that there might be two different stages, and I'm not sure if one is an adult or not. Can anybody direct me to a genus, perhaps more?

Euphorbia ID
The Euphorbia is almost certainly E. hypericifolia.

Chamaesyce
Hi Nathan, thanks for making me aware that Chamaesyce has now been subsumed [back] into Euphorbia :-)

nice shots -- nymphs
They appear to be immature, because they have black wing pads but no wings yet. They might be Rhopalid nymphs - reminds me of N*iesthrea in their body and head shape and hairiness.
Waiting for Eric Eaton to comment...
