Scutelleridae, Shield Bug or Jewel Bug in your case. There are many similar ones around. The most famous one is probably the Lychee Shield Bug, Chrysocoris stolli. I am not sure if yours is that one and many pictures are probably not correctly labeled. Take it as a hint to look further. https://www.flickr.com/photos/23985194@N06/6110390713 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutelleridae
