Look What The Wasp Pointed Out To Me

At the time, I thought the white thing was just a bit of debris. Then when processing photos, noticed the wasp looking intently at it and cropped to see what it was. Then I thought it was shed skin. The insect experts told me it was actually the nymph of a jagged ambush bug. I'd never seen an adult much less the nymph of those. Thanks for pointing it out, wasp.
