    Budak.. think or family it should fit into one of these... Miridae, Anthocoridae and Geocoridae.. can't really see the end part of its wing but with the eyes so big i venture to guess Geocoridae... of course it could be a totally weird family that i haven't heard of yet..but with the long probiscus mouth part an the typical sectioned wings.. should most probably be a heteroptera.

    ya.. thought was a bug. Never heard of those families though. It kept waving its antennae around... at first thought was some ant-mimicking salticid.
