They are just hatching, several mm long on a cherry stem.

Shield bug and stink bug (or shieldbug and stinkbug) are common names applied to various insects of the Hemiptera order (the "true bugs"), in the Heteroptera suborder. Shield bugs have glands in their thorax between the first and second pair of legs which produce a foul smelling liquid. This liquid is used defensively to deter potential predators and is sometimes released when the bugs are handled carelessly. The stink comes from aldehydes such as CH3–(CH2)2–CH=CH–CHO, and is chemically similar to pheromones.

The nymphs, similar to adults except smaller and without wings, also have stink glands.

The nymphs and adults have piercing mouthparts which most use to suck sap from plants, although some eat other insects. When they group in large numbers they can become significant pests.

The superfamily Pentatomoidea consists of generally shield-shaped true bugs, with the families listed to the right.

Other species that resemble shield bugs are found in the Coreoidea superfamily.

Wow, Tanja,
This is a great image of these bugs. I will come back to read what Radomir has to say about them later. Your image is just superb, what a macro shot. The bugs must be just so tiny, well done.
Cheers,
Debbie

Hello Tanja,
Wonderful capture. Well noticed and documented. As Radek, I believe they are larvae of heteropteran bugs, most likely of Pentatomidae (shield bugs) family.
Very nice focus and DOF, especially as for such small subjects!
Best greetings and TFS,
Michal

Hi Tanja,
This is a very good macro!
I like so much the composition made and the clear details on the tiny bugs.
Very good the illumination and the sharpness of the image.
I think you did it pretty well with the narrow DOF to put away the soft background.
Congratuations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

great macro of these just hatching bugs, nice detail in sharp and clear focus, the POV also excellent with diagonal positioning of the stem, well done

Hello Tanja!
This time only a very short comment, I'll be back soon with detailed critique and points.
These are larvae of bugs (Heteroptera). I will try to send you more details about ID in the morning :)
