An unidentified stink bug http://www.papua-insects.nl/insect%20ord... perhaps related to a "coffee bug" Antestiopsis sp., https://www.flickr.com/photos/shannoncha... It looks less like a yellow predatory shield bug (Amyotea hamata) http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...
Spotted on ornamental orchids next to house, surrounded by a semi-urban yard and garden but adjacent to a disturbed patch of remnant lowland forest. This is in the equatorial tropics of northern New Guinea.
It flew away and landed on a nearby rolled up mat where it was photographed.
