 This specimen was collected in a pitfall trap in "De Kaaistoep" (The Nehterlands: Tilburg). Collecting date 8-15 July 2010.
Does anyone have an idea what this is? Size: 1 mm.

 Most likely a scale insect.

 I think that it's Coccoidea.

 Thanks Cthirion and Grigory. From another source I have received the response that it is most probably a pseudococcid nymf, so that corresponds with the opinion of Grigory.
Pseudoccocid nymfs cannot be identified to species level since no keys for nymfs are available. I will have to go back in April/May next year to try to find adults.
I will change the title to coccoid nymf.
