I have made a couple of mistaken guesses but I think I have found your bug (see my suggestion). However, the web site mentions the family, not the species but it may help to find the species name :-)

Sergio, esse percevejo apareceu no meu quintal e ficou uma semana grudado nessa erva daninha, tomando sol e chuva fortes. Eu nunca havia visto um comportamento assim. Obrigada.

Sckel, este é um percevejo da família Coreidae. Eu não posso identificar melhor porque nunca vi um destes antes, mas ele é muito bonito. Parabéns.
