... but I think it is very likely Oplomus pulcher - although the reddish part is missing...

Hi bayucca,

it's difficult - I am not sure about Oplomus pulcher.

By the way: Angelina - if you lie to add this spotting to the mission "Insects of Costa Rica" - here is the link to the mission:

I only know one bug that looks like this:
Pentatomoidea, Pentatomidae, Asopinae, Oplomus pulcher. But I miss the reddish part on the elytra. The rest of the markings are a perfect match. But this bug is also variable.

Thorsten, what do you think about Oplomus pulcher??
