Thank you Richard and Louis, much appreciated.

Not sure if the bug is a mirid – I don’t see a discernable cuneus in the hemelytra and closed cells also in the membranous portion. Not used to looking at New Zealand fauna. Fiona, this site might help on that bug is a mirid. http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/science/plants-animals-fungi/animals/invertebrates/systematics/hemiptera/hemiptera-virtual-collection/heteroptera/miridae You might be able to search through it for more insects.

They resemble Hylastes spp. The third creature appears to be an adult heteropteran, most likely a member of the family Miridae. The images don't allow for much more precision beyond these conclusions. Richard J.
