I think this is a Green Shieldbug Nymph, probably 3rd Instar, of the family Pentatomidae... but I'd welcome confirmation or correction.

Thanks Colin,
Is 3rd instar too specific to be sure or is 'Mid Stage Nymph' a more appropriate description?

No you are spot on Adam - Mid Stage is 3rd - each Nymph stage being sexually imature The are 5 stages generally 3rd is fine for youir ob although sometimes with other sp it is diifficult to be precise wiithout rearing ie +/1 on the staging
