This cluster of eggs and tiny bugs were on a chilli leaf inside the greenhouse.  Anyone have any idea what they might be?

The shape of the bugs remind me of those green shield bugs.

They could be juvenile shield bugs but I'm not sure.

Thank you, they do look similar, which is a bit worrying.  I'll have to check all my greenhouse chillies today, shouldn't take me more than a few hours...... :(
