Better photo than you thought !
This little nymph is VERY young - probably less than 3 days. Although I have not yet personally seen a Neoxabea bipunctata nymph -- I believe this is what your photo is. 1) Found on grapevine - Two-spotted tree crickets do like grapevine. 2) Note those white 'knob-like' markings down the center of the abdomen - those are a distinct marking that I have seen on adult male N. bipunctata 3) Note the ruddy color where the metanotal glands would be, and

Finally) Those two black lines on the pronotum are something I have not seen until an image was posted on June 2d.


Great photo and Great find - you have good eyes!

 
Thank you!
Thank you for correcting and detailed description, Nancy!
I went to that grapevine today and it was still there. I took another image and added. Oh, and corrected size 8mm? to 6mm? :)
