Chariesterus antennator
I've seen these quite a bit on wild poinsettia (they seem to like a variety of euphorbias, though - hence the name, euphorbia bug), right alongside the adults. The nymphs ARE much different from the adults, but they are also easy to recognize for their flattened antennae and their green body with brown trimmings. They look very cool on the red parts of poinsettias.

True Bug Nymph
beyond that I don't really have a clue. Neat looking bug, though.

Coreidae?
This is probably something in the family Coreidae (leaf-footed bugs, squash bugs). Nymphs change greatly from one instar to the next in this family.
