Oh cool!
Good guess on the nymph from you, then. =) The adults only have those tiny wing buds? How odd.

a lot of true bugs in various lineages sport reduced wings
this condition is quite common among mirids, assassins, nabids, lygaeoids, shore/semiaq. bugs, &c. -- but all aquatic heteropterans are good fliers
