I agree. Thank you so much Lauren!
Brian, I think so too, look at this reference which compares B. dimidiata and B. calva: http://www.toronto-wildlife.com/Insects/True_Bugs/Plant_bugs/true_bugs_stink.html B. calva seems to be really variable, but B. dimidiata is a dead ringer for yours.
Lauren I believe I need to change my ID to Banasa dimidiata. If you have a chance could you let me know what you think?
