I know that we have lots of unidentified nymphs, but I hope that this is distinctive enough.

It looks like the ones identified in the guide as two-spotted stink bugs. But, the two-spotted stink bug feeds on potato beetles and hangs around mostly around potato plants. This one was found on goldenrod. P. circumcinctus feeds on insects that feed on bidens and goldenrods according to this paper.
It makes me wonder about all the IDs in the guide, especially the one eating a lady bug.

This looks like
Genus Podisus. 4th instar?

EDIT: Agree with Perillus (07/01/11)
