Stink bug nymph (Apoecilus sp.) ?

This colourful nymph is one of the predatory stink bugs, meaning it eats other insects rather than plant matter. As an adult it loses its pretty colours, becoming brownish. Here, it is sitting on the head of a timothy grass. As stink bugs go, this one is fairly large at about 20mm.
