Thanks Selma. It stood out in the bush as I walked past - only about 1 to 1.5cm long, but the colours seemed to glow in the bush so i had to take its photo.
Thanks Hema Shah! The photo doesn't do it justice, it actually seemed to be glowing in the bush.
lovely bug!!
Thanks Mark, I was unsure of correct ID, and glad you picked it up for me. Will adjust.

He does look a little lop-sided :( These orange-blue nymphs are Family:Coreidae, Tribe:Amorbini
