Looks absolutely repulsive, yet strangely intriguing :-? ;)

I'm betting it's a member of the Aphididae... Translated out of Dutch, that would be leaf-lice... a plantpest! I have my watercan with added detergent ready when I spot these on my precious gardenplants!   ;D

The first pic is the skin from my pet European Mantis AKA Praying Mantis. It is growing so the "baby" skin in pealing off.  The other pictures are not from the Aphididae family. Try arachnid. That is a Green Lynx Spider magnified. Most of the time you can't really see them because they are really fast and they live on leaves.
