I looked up images of green shield bugs at various stages of development and none match the bug I saw. But I do think you might be right about it being some kind of True Bug and also about it being a nymph.

hmm, doesn´t look like it is able to fly, I think it fell. it is a nymph (immature) of some sort of shield bug
