Shieldbugs vary greatly in appearance as they develop,asking them a challenge to identify. Here are several early stages (instars) and an adult Green Shieldbug. Fairly common in the UK.

Common Green Shieldbugs at various stages of their lifecycles. Impossible not to love such beautiful garden visitors.
I'm hoping to find new (to me) species, and learn more about them all, now I have @bugmanjones.bsky.social's brilliant New Naturalists 'Shieldbugs' book

As Graphosoma italicum (Striped Shieldbug) hasn't yet reached Shropshire, it was lovely to see plenty of them in northern France last month! #Heteroptera #Shieldbug #France #Punaise

Bronze Shieldbug and three different instars. It is amazing how each stage is so different. Look out for the adults from July in the UK. #shieldbugs
