Pentatomidae/Stink Bug, Asopinae, and looks like being Eocanthecona furcellata. However, yours might be a little bit paler than others. But I think the key criteria fit quite well: Antennae, segments of antennae, colors of antennae, color of legs, color of knees etc. http://seastar.cocolog-nifty.com/1st/2005/07/ http://www.nbaii.res.in/Featured_insects/Eocanthecona-furcellata.php http://www.rdi.ku.ac.th/kufair50/plant/37_plant/37_plant.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/41234303@N07/11566504435 http://www.flickr.com/photos/41234303@N07/11566629436
