Slant-faced Nymph...
...two molts away from adulthood, I'd guess, and that's as far as I can go! I only know two slant-faced species well and this ain't either of them. I'll bet someone else can get it down to a genus at least, though...

Too early to tell.
Too young to be able to give an absolute ID, but the parallel pronotal ridges (top of thorax) help rule out most genera that have a constriction in the middle of the pronotum, giving a more or less >< appearance. So, you might try Dichromorpha viridis as a possiblity. Coloration matters a whole lot less than morphology!
