I noticed a golden flash fly past my face, and upon flipping over a broad leaf, I was met by a transparent insect I'd never seen before. It flew away, but not before I snapped a quick image of it. Any clues as to what it is?
Vegetation in Nepal.
It appears to be a shield bug of some sort...

Thanks for the ID! I'll try to narrow it down to species now. :)
Nice find! It's a tortoise beetle.
