My wife was harvesting some cabbage today and this bug was with it. I was surprised since we have had several mid-20 degree days.

Murgantia histrionica
Not a nymph, this is an adult Stink Bug, species Murgantia histrionica. Introduced species but not sure if it is invasive or not, it is also considered a pest of Cabbage and similar crops.
