Check tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris or similar. In this link the bug
is the same as yours but I am not sure it is correctly identified.

Thanks Satyen...time to get a new cam though...forced to work with low ISO (to avoid crappy grain in higher ISO) makes any shot to a risky procedure of blurryness - the smallest shaking and it's gone...just like on this one :(
