Spotting

It's the length of wing buds that's best indicator of which instar you have but comparisons are hard to come by. Leuba's spotting is an earlier instar to Martins. And yours looks maybe the same stage as Leuba's... but yours has some yellow on the pronotum which hers doesn't. That's why I said it might be a close cousin... same genus maybe. Pentatomidae might be safest until expert comment comes in.

Still hard to pick. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/115... Communis elegans, Scutelleridae. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/123...

Thanks Mark. Yes hard to tell if their Stink Bugs or Parent Bugs in the interesting link you've posted.

Commius elegans or maybe a close cousin... possibly penultimate instar.

Lovely little stinkbug nymph Barbara. Can't tell exactly which one... they all change so much as the grow. Very similar here http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2008/12/13/u...
