... very similar species.
tmvdh
Well, I think zonatus is more common in Costa Rica...
Gilma Jeannette Ospino Ferreira-Norman
Thank you for the ID, Mona Pirih and bayucca, also for all the Links. I looked at Leptoglossus phyllopus and Leptoglossus cf. zonatus in the internet and they place my bug in both??!!
tmvdh
Used by several authors, EOL, various wikis. I don't know it's origin, either...
bayucca
Actually I do not know why and where this additional "d" is coming from...
tmvdh
Well, actually both are synonyms for the same tribe ;-).
tmvdh
... but it's Anisoscelidini, not Anisoscelini ;-).
tmvdh
I agree, bayucca.

Coreidae, Coreinae, Anisoscelini, Leptoglossus sp. and looks like being Leptoglossus zonatus. http://www.flickr.com/photos/62371458@N03/7390408898 http://bugguide.net/node/view/144519/bgimage http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/citrus/leptoglossus_zonatus.htm http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2012/05/09/immature-leaf-footed-bugs-3/ http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2012/08/13/leaf-footed-bugs-5/ http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2009/10/03/leaf-footed-bugs-3/ http://nathistoc.bio.uci.edu/hemipt/Leptoglossus%20zonatus.htm Here is the adult, maybe ou find some around you: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8216273

Pues, parece ser una ninfa de una especie de los Coreidae, Anisoscelidini.
