Sucking insect of some kind.

Not a spider or bee as there are not enough compound eyes.

Beautiful magnification to see the scales on the external surface.

Well it certainly looks like a seedy character at that magnification!

Let us be thankful that the seed-like scales are not the size of mango seeds.
