Spiky Boi - _TNY_3788
This prickly little thing with the red eyes is a second instar nymph of a dock bug (Coreus marginatus).
Along with a bunch of other true bugs and brethren in various instar stages (as well as adults) they were abundant on the raspberries in the garden of my mom's summer house in Värmdö, Sweden in late July.
Here is a shot of at least five nymphs in later stages from the same raspberry shrubbery: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52562378897/
A shot of an adult from the same location, shot two weeks later here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51862369370/
