Those two shield bugs mating are a delicacy where I come from in Zimbabwe. Known as hururwa.
They only breed in a certain small area near Bikita, and the chief determines when they can be harvested, in an effort to protect them from over-exploitation.
Their urine is super acidic and can cause bad burns to hands, so they are normally popped straight into a bowl of water to dilute the pee, then they are lightly roasted.
Taste a bit like roast pistachios.

Some recent phone pics. Last one looks to be a (harlequin) ladybird larva.
