Just a guess...
...but something about the head shape and body coloration makes me strongly suspect that this is a nymph of your local Harmostes species:



In addition to the above photo, I see that you have several more images of adults posted from the same location, so I suppose it would stand to reason that the nymphs would be present in abundance as well. Of course, this is all just idle conjecture on my part -- sadly, no real science at work behind my theory. (*smile*)
