looks like the skin of a true bug nymph.
or perhaps an alien :)

Thanks for tips John. Maybe Heteroptera-specialists know more.

Hello,

I am no expert, but it reminds me of an Issus exuvia.

Thanks Jürgen, but in Finland Issidae-family is unknown. Maybe some other Auchenorryncha-family.
I forgot to mention that the length of this alien is about 5 mm.

It reminds me most of an Elasmucha nymph but, as far as I know, it is not possible to distinguish the nymphs of E. grisea and E. fieberi.
