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
See my previous post...

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
