Pentatomoidea nymph. I am not so sure, if it is really a Pentatomidae. Could also be a Scutelleridae and my closest guess would be Pachycoris sp. and might be the common and extremely (at least the adults!) Pachycoris torridus.
But I am not 100% sure, so I would be happy if someone else could take a look at this one as well!

I love the shoulder pads, does he play rugby?
This is a pentatomidae bug nymph but may be hard to identify more closely as the adults often look quite different to their nymphs. I scrolled down your wonderful spottings gallery but found no shield bugs/stink bugs (local) that I think are candidates. You need a local expert.
