I'm not an expert
But I think this is a Tarnished Plant Bug nymph based on the images and description on the Univ. of Tennessee's website here:

http://www.utextension.utk.edu/fieldCrops/cotton/cotton_insects/Pests/tarnished_plant_bug.htm

"Immature tarnished plant bugs (nymphs) typically vary from yellowish-green to dark green or brownish. Later nymphal instars have four dark-colored spots on their thorax and one spot in the middle of the abdomen."
