Looks like a young stiltbug to me. So maybe Berytidae nymph? Possibly Gampsocoris punctipes or something similar, although I'm no expert on this group.

Could be an Assasin Bug, Emisinae, Reduviidae. Cheers, Graeme |

Thanks, Graeme. And you are right. According to Isidro, this is a Ploiaria sp. so you are right. This is indeed a reduviid. |

There is no key to nymph level of Emesinae but the only known Ploiaria in Portugal is P.domestica which looks very different as adult. To me the shape and colors looks much more like Empicoris but than again nothing is for sure.
