Nezara viridula
± 8 mm - Stink bug instar. Mostly green with orange/red, black, yellow and blue.
Found on lavender in garden.
Ooh, look what I just found, perfect for an artist to ID a "stink" bug! http://flickrhivemind.net/Tags/nymfa/Int...
Wow bayucca, this is truly amazing! Thank you so so much! Every link you added is helpful! Your dedication and accuracy is much appreciated and well respected! Thank you!!!
Please, verify yourself, I am absolutely not sure. Some of the details are not matching 100% percent, but depending on the instar it might be tricky to ID these nymphs. I do not think it is the other common one, Chinavia hilaris.

Check the "lobes" on the shield and the margins of the scrutellum.

It IS a Pentatomidae, Stink Bug!
