Himacerus mirmicoides nymph

Himacerus mirmicoides nymph
A nymph of the Ant Damsel Bug (Himacerus mirmicoides) that in its early stages really does do an excellent job mimicking a black ant, certainly fooled me when I first spotted it. They seem to be quite common in my garden occurring on an ornamental hawthorn tree. Shrewsbury, Shropshire, April 2022.
