Nezara viridula
Adults are approximately a centimeter long, bright green and shield-shaped. They differ from the similar green stink bug (Acrosternum hilare) by the shape of their scent gland openings, which are short and wide in N. viridula, and narrow and long in the green stink bug. -Hemiptera - Heteroptera - Pentatomorpha - Pentatomoidea - Pentatomidae -Nezara
Nezara viridula is a cosmopolitan species, living in tropical and subtropical regions of Americas, Africa, Asia, Australasia and Europe between 45 degrees north and 45 degrees south. Its exact origin is unknown, but it is believed to have originated from the Ethiopia region of East Africa, from where it has spread around the world thanks to its strong flight and human trade routes. Because of its preference for certain species of legumes, such as beans and soybeans, it is an economically important pest on such crops
