Thank you, Martin. Following your directions I found this:

wich seems to be a very close relative.
Asergio, this bug looks tiny. The detail of its wings is a little unclear. It seems to have a scutellum (triangular back plate). This makes it an adult. It seems to lack the terminal membranous wing tips that are characteristic of Hemiptera. I think you will find it in pentatomidae (5 antennae segments) Check this one, also with dimples behind its shoulders http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...
