Hi,

If possible,please could someone help me id these bugs.Both from West Sussex.

The first and second were on the same plant,but I've not been able to figure out what the plant it is,they're quite common i think,and i usually see them growing among nettles,they look kind of dead or dry and are about nettle hight.
We thought they might be shield bugs of some sort.

The last one was found a few months ago in open grassland.

pic 1 bug was smaller(younger?) about 6mm

pic 2 and 3 bugs about 11mm ish

Thankyou
