Thanks for the info Neil. I wouldn't like to guess what life stage this Shield Bug is as I'm far from an expert on that sort of thing :-). The closest I could find was a Shield Bug from Singapore which had very similar legs but the body colouring was different

And I've drawn a blank too. Nothing comes close.

Brisbaneinsects.com is a very handy site, James. A couple of links for you. Do you think this was an adult or a nymph? http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_stinkbugs/index.html http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_stinkbugs/FieldGuide.html
