I have no idea what these are, but I found just a couple of them on my hop leaves (hops were ordered from @Greatlakeshops ) almost a week ago and I'm finding more and more of them. I live in eastern Wisconsin.

The second one is actually an elderberry leaf, and the third is what remains of my honeycrisp apple tree. Unfortunately I was away for the weekend so this is the first I'm noticing the damage to the tree.

I'd appreciate any help identifying them and advice on how I could remove them. I don't want to see my hops (or other remaining plants) go the way of that apple tree. I'm not sure that tree will recover :( .
 
That image in the PDF looks about right, but when I do a quick search I see images of these and of some green beetle I haven't seen before.
