found somthing to decide in form of head:
Pentatomidae: Tylus (middle piece of frons) enclosed in side parts, not protruding (as in this picture);
Largidae: Tylus protruding, longer than side parts (as here)

this one will belong to a different species, please unlink
Such have already been suspected to be nymphs of Largus sp. (Largidae). Eric Eaton supects it being the nymph of Stiretrus anchorago (Pentatomidae).

On your pic, I see a feature to support both guesses: The profemora bear a tooth, which is an unusual feature in Heteroptera - shared by adults of both Largus and Stiretrus.

Boris, there are about six of these
on the main bug page here. Should all be moved to Largus?

wait, please
Eric Eaton has expressed doubt on them being Largus. I wanted to say only, that even similar, they are not the same as Tom´s bug nymph.
