Nezara viridula
5th instar of a Nezara viridula nymph. It's an invasive stink bug, originating from Africa but now a worldwide pest. The adults will be all green, but with some characteristic differences from the local green shield bug (Palomena prasina).
Look here: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/384... for a little younger nymph of the same species. And also look here for the plant on it they were: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/377...
