Shieldbug
Need some help with this ID. I think it's a species of Shield Bug. Very tiny, about the size of a grain of rice!
Here it's climbing up the end of a left of a TurtleHead plant.
An adde attraction was the drop of honeydew coming from the back end! Yum!
Thank you to Wayne, for the proper identification of this insect: the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) is an insect in the family Pentatomidae.
What I identified as Honeydew is in fact the stink of the Stink Bug, which it releases when disturbed, which I probably did, but didn't smell!
The things One learns when interested in learning!!
