best so far but still no cigar ... http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_stinkbugs/PhyllotaStinkBug.htm
This is an adult already and not a nymph, since the wings are fully formed. I cannot find a match and imagine there are numerous similar species, including this one from UK http://www.bugsandweeds.co.uk/bugs.html. This does not belong in the beetle mission as this is limited to Coleoptera.
