Beautiful! You are right Latimeria. It is exactly the same as attached below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tessaratoma_papillosa_nymph.jpg

Tsssss... you won me!; I support that Tessaratoma papillosa
Latimeria
Actually, I think this is a giant shield bug nymph, family Tessaratomidae. They mostly occur in the old world, so I don't know too much about them. Wikipedia has more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessaratomidae

It's the nymph of a sheild bug, aka stink bug. I'm not sure which species.
