Brassica Bugs

From back in April: a pair of brassica bugs, Eurydema oleracea (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) mating on a garlic mustard (Allaria petiolata) leaf.  These bugs come in black and white, black and red, and black and yellow variants.  I have seen all three variants on the same plant.

A black and yellow one from a few days earlier:

And from a recent walk, what I think is a nymph of the same species:

This was on a mullein plant (Verbascum thapsus) but still only a few metres from where I saw the above specimens.  The stand of garlic mustard had by then gone to seed and its leaves had turned purple.
