I'm no bugmeister, but it looks like what I've been calling an aphid (about 1mm) on some of my plants.

Nice capture- looks like an aphid but it doesn't have the twin exhaust pipes on the back of the abdomen and the proboscis is too long- think it must be a plant bug nymph.

I wasn't sure what it was, was leaning to a very early instar of a cricket, but it's not an Aphid, the antennae are wrong. I've never seen one of these before, good find!
