Thank you Mark Ridgway! :)
I tagged another spotting as well : https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/10...
It is another colourmorph of N.viridula.
I agree. It seems to be almost a worldwide distribution now.
Got few interesting details. Nezara viridula exhibit colourmorphs as per below link :

This spotting must be Nezara viridula var. torquata, Type O.
Thank you Mark Ridgway! :)
Few N.viridula spottings:

The differences are the pale yellowish border and those 2 black markings; other than these they match well. Not sure it is exactly N.viridula but very close to it.
