From midwest Sweden 2006-OCT-12. There are few Heteroptera larva photos on the net ... At the house wall where this was found I have also seen, what I believe is, Eremocoris abietis. Could this be it?

I thinks this is not a larva... but a nymph.  |

I also thought about Lygaeidae or Pyrrhocoridaen nymphs. It is better to restrict the use of larva for holometabolous insects at lease as far as Arthropods are concerned, so spiders, crustaceans, and non-holometabolous insects (like the Orthopteroid and Hemipteroid linages) have nymphs. Yet in the case of Non-Arthropods the word larva and larval stages are frequently. If I remember correctly nymphs are larval stages that resemble mostly the adult stage (like orthopteroid and hemipteroid nymphs are like small version of the adult stage usually without the wings).

Yes, I agree with Gabor. In german lanuage we use both, but larva is the usual word. But in english it seems to be usual to use "nymph". So I changed all "larva" to "nymph" at our heteroptera hp. By the way: The shown Lygaeidae nymph can?t be identified. Best regards Frank
