Shield bug nymph?
I saw this in a friend's garden yesterday. I think it is a shield bug nymph. Does anyone know what species it is?

Hello David
You must have a steady hand, it's a nice and sharp image. Can't help with the ID I'm afraid, but I don't think it is one we have seen on here before.
Best wishes

Certainly looks like a green shield bug - nice and clean shot.
