Heterogaster urticae - Group of nymphs (the little red one is something else - Scolopostethus maybe)<br />
Rather old series (2009), mostly as a reminder to get better images this year.<br />
Someone mentioned not having seen these for a while (years) and it made me think &quot;hmmm, me neither&quot; - or is it that I just didn&#039;t pay attention? Anyway, a very very common species, although a bit less so in the north of our country.<br />
