Leaf-footed bugs (LFB) go through 5 moults before becoming an adult. The nymphs moult as they grow, looking more like an adult each time.  They often vary in coloration between their 5 moults.  The freshly moulted individual tends to be a mixture of yellow and orange during the earlier stage but more towards pink in the later stage of the moulting like this image below which was spotted yesterday.  I welcome your C & C for improvement.  I had written a short article on the life cycle of LFB here.

Excellent details and extraordinary colors, great position on the insect and the exuvia. Tells a fascinating natural history story as well.

All the best

What a terrific catch, and a amazing image. The color contrast is very nice indeed. Easy to see why this caught the Editor's eye.
