CLOSED: ID Help Needed

Blairstown, NJ

I was wondering if these beetle-like critters are the same, just in different stages of growth, or do I have a few different species here. They range in size and coloration, and so far I've only found them on my pines.

Growing up we called them stink bugs because they stink if you touch them, so I looked it up! Here's one family Pentatomoidea.

Thanks Arries for your help. Your link gave me all the info I needed. Now I know that I have various stages of stink bugs nymphs on my pines. I was pretty sure they were all related, but it's always nice to have that confirmation.
