I found this bug in the bathroom. He's white and a little smaller than a number on a credit card. He looks a bit "crusty" like a crab would look, but moves like a frog does when a frog tries to walk instead of hop. Weird, I know...
He has two thin antennae that I only saw briefly.
Sorry for the bad photo, dark lighting + tiny bug + no macro lens = bad photo :/
CLOSED: Strange Tiny White Bug
This is a nymph of an assassin bug (Hemiptera/Heteroptera: Reduviidae); likely that of an introduced species (Reduvius personatus) known as the masked hunter. See http://tinyurl.com/n8zfl8 for an image and http://tinyurl.com/23g4bdy for a fact sheet.
