Insect ID please?

[Amelia]

I know it is harder identifying babies, but here goes. This baby bug was found in Central Kentucky. This picture was taken shortly after the insect had hatched, along with about fifty others from white eggs on the back of a tree leaf.

Cute isn't it. Any ideas?

don't want to burst your bubble and im not an expert so get other opinions but looks almost like a tick to me

 

[blazetown]

sorry been drinking didn't pay attention to the obvious antennae and egg case comment definitely a beetle

 

[myrmecophile]

Definitely not a beetle. It is a tru bug nymph, but beyond that, little chance of an Ident.

Pentatomidae, stink bug, nymph

Wonderful! Thank you so much!

I thought ticks have 8 legs?

 

[myrmecophile]

Ticks often do have 6 legs at birth but this is not a tick, true Pentatomid nymph for sure,

Googled "stink bug nymph" images, and it is a definite on the Pentatomid.

Blazetown's second reply right after the tick post admitted his misidentification of tick. It does look like a beetle though. Those were actually the first things I looked for, but found that the young are larvae.

What a nice resource you guys are. Thank you so much!
