Stictopelta
Chris Dietrich confirms this identification. It is very interesting because this type of nymph (very high in front, tapering to the tail) is characteristic of the subfamily Centrotinae, but Stictopelta belongs to a different subfamily Darninae whose affinities are presently unknown.
If anyone knows how to contact "Lon Queta" to request use of this photo for scientific research, please contact me at: hamiltona AT agr.gc.ca
