A beautiful/colorful shield bug!
Urban garden
Nice spotting :)
Thank you bayucca for the id !
Scutelleridae, looks like being a Cantao sp., maybe Cantao ocellatus?? Very variable guy!So, actually not a stink bug, but a shield bug. Stink bugs are Pentatomidae. Both are, however, from the same superfamily Pentatomoidea.http://www.ccs-hk.org/DM/butterfly/Bugs/...https://www.flickr.com/photos/bettaman/3...http://www.nbaii.res.in/insectpests/Cant...
