Unknown wingless green insect, very small - Idiocerus
Green Mountain Falls, Colorado, USA
June 9, 2012
Size: Very small
This was on my arm at a park in Green Mountain Falls, CO (before the Waldo Canyon Fire). Right outside of Colorado Springs. There was a small pond and a creek nearby, we were closer to the creek under a tree though. It was extremely small, maybe just 2 or 3 times the size of a flea. Seems to be a nymph or larvae.
