Don't know this one. These first instar nymphs are quite troublesome.

Thanks Roger. Would photographs from any other perspective help with the identification, or is it more complex than this? Tim

Your pictures are excellent. Its just that there isa large range of similar looking ist instar nymphs.and not enough pictures of known species that have been bred from named adults.. Roger
