Thanks, @sunnyjosef :) And yes, wonderful colours on this one, like Mark mentioned, maybe the locals painted it :D, the Balinese culture are equally colourful :)

Thanks, @Mark & @Martin. Yes, I gather this one is another Tessaratomidae.

Another tessaratomidae (small headed bug). The nymphs of these shield bugs are buzzarre. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/69246013 http://www.ccs-hk.org/DM/butterfly/Bugs/Hemiptera/Eurostus-validus.html
