Halyomorpha halys
The adults are approximately 1.7 centimetres (0.67 in) long and about as wide, forming the "shield" shape characteristic of other stink bugs. They are various shades of brown on both the top and undersides, with gray, off-white, black, copper, and blueish markings. Markings unique to this species include alternating light bands on the antennae and alternating dark bands on the thin outer edge of the abdomen. The legs are brown with faint white mottling or banding. Resembles this spotting http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/117...
temperate forest, mountains
I spotted this along a sunny wall in Foping National Nature Reserve.
Thanks Gerardo and martin. Seems like this is a serious pest in the US, was nice to see it in its native habitat.
