Edessa cf. leucogramma
Categories: Classe Insecta, Edessa sp, Família Pentatomidae, Ordem Hemiptera, Subordem Heteroptera.
Espécie não identificada.
Definitely not Edessa collaris. There are too many similar species around, so a proper species ID is probably not possible without genital dissection/DNA.
The closest I found would be Edessa leucogramma, so I suggest to take Edessa cf. leucogramma as scientific ID. Common name should be Stink Bug or Edessa Stink Bug as a compromise.
Nice spotting, Cris, hope you get an ID on the cute creatures.
The tree they are on, is an AfricanTulipan/Llama del Bosque, Spathodea campanulata.
