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.

Thanks, again Ashish! It's the first one of this species I've found I think.
