Sorry I don't, but I do recall seeing another spotting of it on Project Noah so someone in the community may be able to help you.

Sure, thanks for the ID, I'll reload the picture too :)
Would you happen to know what is the scientific name for this particular shield bug too? I did some searching and learnt that it is under the Pentatomidae family, but not too sure what is the exact species.
