Thanks! It's a perfect match. I have little knowledge of insect species, so I depend on the guides. I'll make the change.

Coreidae, Coreinae, Anisoscelini, Leptoglossus sp. and looks like being Leptoglossus oppositus.
The markings let me more think of Leptoglossus oppositus rather than Acanthocephala terminalis, which looks like this:

Note the different markings and colors of the antennae and the missing markings on the body in Acanthocephala terminalis.
