This interesting insect was on a blueberry bush and I moved it to this broad leaf to get a picture. It looks like a cross between a larva and an adult form. Which is it?

Triangular spider Arkys walckenaeri, Sandfly, Tasmania January 2017

Parasitizing Ambrosia salsola in a rather large wash, poking its inflorescence out of granitic sand. Last year's inflorescences still present.

Very unusual flowering growth form.

Planta silvestre tipo enredadera. En bosque de pinos y encinos.

Previously reported from this same location where there appears to be a population.

Presumably a parasitic plant since no leaves were observed and no plants nearby.

About a dozen seen crawling through tall grass surrounded by shrubby vegetation & pines, about 150 yds. uphill from the beach

You can't see it in the picture but he has a black tip on his tail.
