... but I think it is very likely Oplomus pulcher - although the reddish part is missing...

Hi bayucca, it's difficult - I am not sure about Oplomus pulcher. By the way: Angelina - if you lie to add this spotting to the mission "Insects of Costa Rica" - here is the link to the mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/10022250

Welcome to Project Noah, Angelina!! Hope you have more Tico spottings!

I only know one bug that looks like this: Pentatomoidea, Pentatomidae, Asopinae, Oplomus pulcher. But I miss the reddish part on the elytra. The rest of the markings are a perfect match. But this bug is also variable. Thorsten, what do you think about Oplomus pulcher??

Great spotting! Could you please add it to the mission "Insects of Costa Rica"?
