Field bug nymph in later stages of development than my previous image, here, https://ecp.earthsky.org/community-photos/entry/76856/. This one has lost it's ladybird-like appearance, and the black markings on it's head along with changes to the spots on it's back and body shape.

Exposure: f/25, 1/250s, ISO-1600
Flash: Compulsory, 1/32

Nikon D800
