Field Notes

Description:

A green type of stink bug. It's a new coloration for me. Yellow head and alternating colors in the antennae. The size is about 12 mm.

Habitat:

Leafs and plants in the open meadows here.

Notes:

I stopped to look rather than just dismissing it as an already been seen insect. It was new!

They almost match, though I saw the yellow and looked closer.
Sorry, your right Ashish.. It does give the bug a little more class.
Joseph pl change name, name is Green vegetable bug not Stink.
I saw them many times but lost them before taking out camera.
Thanks, again Ashish! It's the first one of this species I've found I think.
I suspect is same.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nezara_viridula
