Chelinidea vittiger aequoris
These green bugs were hanging out on a cactus, though I have seen them on other plants. Maybe some sort of assassin bug?
Thank you Leuba! The second reference link you gave below - is dead on. The cactus this bug was on (along with several others) had a whole all the way through it from them feeding.
Nice spotting - I am also interested in those white spots on the cactus with sharp spikes - look painful!
Here's another reference:
