Agapophyta viridula
A "giant shield bug" (Tessaratomidae). See also http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/712....
This spotting in coastal zone village yard (surrounded by ocean beach, sago swamp and forest).
The common name of the family "giant shield bugs" doesn't seem appropriate to this species...It is not particularly large.
