Alder leaf beetle (Agelastica alni) is a possibility. The underlying abdomen colour is a much better match. One thing I've learned today is that many leaf beetles have such spectacular pregnancies.

A few more from the same place with the Canon 65mm

An Anthocoris. I think a Common flower bug (Anthocoris nemorum).

Looks like a Psallus. There are several similar species.
