Spotting

Description:

Very small insect (although it could potentially be a spider,) I only counted 6 legs. Bright yellow coloring with black stripes on the legs. Zoomed in photos suggest it has spikes on its back.

Cool find! This is an Assassin Bug nymph, very likely from Genus Pselliopus. It may not be possible to find the species but check the ranges. Perhaps there is only one species in your area:

If not, you can call it "Assassin Bug nymph" with Pselliopus sp. as the scientific name.
