green shield bug

Description:

Percevejo, no Brasil - stink bug found at my tangerine tree can be genus Palomena. Palomena prasina has "shoulders" and this species is more like a drop. P. prasina has colored antennas and legs, this one, not.

O formato pontiagudo da cabeça dessa ninfa, a coloração clara dos dois segmentos das pontas das antenas, o tórax estreito, sem "ombro", o formato ovalado do corpo e os dois pontinhos pretos no alto do tórax indicam que talvez não se trate dessa espécie.

Dá uma olhada nessas imagens de Palomena prasina
