Brassica napus
Big leafy green plants. Flowers look similar to canola.
Grassy/weedy areas beside the river.
This is the plant that I found the green shield bugs and the unidentified striped yellow/black beetle. Trying to identify the plant to help with the beetle species.

This is certainly similar to canola (rapeseed, Brassica napus). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canola
Brassica sp. includes mustard, , broccoli, cabbage and cauliflour and is even related to wild radish that we get as a weed species. Thanks for your research, Rachael, we'll figure this out.
I have no idea, I will have to look into this further tomorrow to see if I can find out what it is. :-D
I don't think so, the stems were similar to a sow thistle - round and hollow but without the milk sap.
could it possibly be a type of green rhubarb? I am not certain but the leaves look pretty similar to the rhubarb I have growing here.
