First one taken in July this year under a silk web (not sure if it was responsible) about 3mm long

Second one taken a couple of days ago- bug about 5mm long walking around on an unpicked apple.
Thanks.

Well can not help you too much. Both are nymphs of hemipteroid insects.

My guess for the first one is a Psocoptera nymph possibly family Psocida, though it could be also a Hemiptera.

The second one is the Hemiptera nymph of a bug in the Pentatomidae family.

Thanks Xespok.
Might explain why I can't find them in my bug books if they are both nymphs :)
