 Hello!

Could anyone help me about this tiny oddity? It appeared on my hand and I could take some photos from it. Very small, max 1 mm long or smaller. Never seen any similarities but I don't know where should I seek.

 Looking at the antenna I suspect some Heteroptera nymph.

 A bug nymph for sure, and most of them are barely identifiable in this stage of life.

 Looks like a nymph of the predatory bug Myrmecoris gracilis which is indeed a Mirid.
