Coreidae.
Definitely the nymph of a leaf-footed bug in the family Coreidae. It is already "decorated" with at least four eggs from a tachinid fly! Maybe it will molt again before the eggs hatch and the larvae bore into its body.

Hope
Hopefully that will happen! I wish the bug good luck before the evil tachinid larvae hatch and.....well you know what's next.
