Thank you bayucca for the ID and the link.

Pentatomidae, Pentatominae, Chlorocorini, Loxa sp.. Unfortunately there are too many almost identical species around, which make an ID only speculative from only a picture. Flavicollis is a candidate, but there are others found in Mexico. We had the same discussion previously about one from Costa Rica. http://bugguide.net/node/view/88831/bgpage

Thanks for your inputs, Yulia. But which one is it now? You have to be quite sure about the ID if you make a suggestion, but 2 suggestions are not possible, at least not from the same IDer.
