Not Neortholomus scolopax

Neortholomus scolopax nymphs have 2 pairs of scent-glands openings on the back of their abdomen, not three. It might be a Rhyparochromidae ( Y sutures). Your specimen is interesting because one antenna has only 3 segments instead of 4. It happens sometimes and usually the remaining segments are longer and thicker, which is the case here.

Thanks again!

Another one

I think this other specimen #557785, belongs to the Rhyparochromidae as well.
Thanks Mike!
