Nezara viridula
amazing colouring on this nymph
mimobo woodland, 1000m
I spotted this cool insect a few times in Namizimu forest reserve.
Thanks for the ID bayucca. Looks like the adult is pretty boring compare to the nymph.
Pentatomidae, Pentatominae, Nezarini, "must" be Nezara viridula, southern green stink bug, often also called southern green shield bug, but it is a stink bug, only in the UK Pentatomoidea, so both Pentatomidae and Scutelleridae are called shield bugs. Personally I would use separate terms to avoid confusing. Let the Brits handle this themselves ;-)...
