Stinkbug nymph (Pentatomidae)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden. Found this stink bug nymph on some boneset plants. I have no idea which species this is, as the nymphs often look nothing at all like the adults, and also, nymphs can look very different from one instar to the next too. I find this to be a colourful and attractive bug, though I know stink bugs are not everyone's favourite. But consider this, the predatory stink bugs feed on other insects (not plants), and can be beneficial in one's garden.
