"Green occupies more space in the spectrum visible to the human eye than most colors, and is second only to blue as a favorite color. Green is the pervasive color in the natural world, making it an ideal backdrop in interior design because we are so used to seeing it everywhere.
The natural greens, from forest to lime, are seen as tranquil and refreshing, with a natural balance of cool and warm (blue and yellow) undertones. Green is considered the color of peace and ecology.
However, there is an "institutional" side to green, associated with illness and government-issued green cards, that conjures up negative emotions, as do the "slimy" or "bilious" greens.
How the color green affects us physically
Soothes
Relaxes mentally, as well as physically
Helps alleviate depression, nervousness, and anxiety
Offers a sense of renewal, self-control, and harmony"
No this is not Ireland here but the hills of central California coastal mountains. I was driving north of San Louis Obisbo county . It is wine and "Sideways" country with vinyards, grazing pasture for cattle and hillside dotted with California white oaks. . The slight blur at the bottom is because I shot from a car window near twilight going sixty mph but I like the effect and it is both fun and frustrating to photograph from the car as you get a lot of bad shots too but in the age of digital it doesnt cost you you just hit delete and save the best. Happy spring to all.

I've seen many brown stink bugs but this is the first Green one.
The green stink bug or green soldier bug (Acrosternum hilare) is a stink bug belonging to the family Pentatomidae.
According to Dr. David Rider of North Dakota State University the generic name is wrong. The genus name Acrosternum should be restricted to a handful of Old World, small, pale green species that live in dry arid areas. The larger, brighter green species that live in both the Old and New Worlds should actually go by the generic name Chinavia, therefore this species should be called Chinavia hilaris.
It is found in orchards, gardens, woodlands and crop fields throughout North America, feeding with their needle-like mouthparts on the juices of a wide variety of plants from May until the arrival of frost. Adults develop a preference for developing seeds and thus become crop pests (tomato, bean, pea, cotton, corn, soybean, eggplant). When no seeds are present, they also feed on stems and foliage, thus damaging several fruit trees, such as the apple, cherry, orange and peach trees.
Its color is typically bright green, with narrow yellow, orange, or reddish edges.
It is a large, shield-shaped bug with an elongate, oval form and a length between 13-18 mm. It can be differentiated from the species Nezara by its black outermost three antennal segments. Its anterolateral (= in front and away from the middle) pronotal margin is rather straight and not strongly arced such as in Acrosternum pennsylvanicum
Both adults and nymphs have large stink glands on the underside of the thorax extending more than half-way to the edge of the metapleuron. They discharge large amounts of this foul-smelling liquid when disturbed.
[edit] Reproduction
Second instar
They attach their keg-shaped eggs on the underside of foliage in double rows of twelve eggs or more. The green stink bug produces one generation in the North and two generations in the South. The early instar nymphs are rather brightly colored and striped, turning green when approaching adulthood.

I love orange. And blue. All shades of blue. Yellow is lovely, too. And don't forget red. But you know... green. Green is really, really nice. You know what? I think I love my world to be colourful :)
Short while back I had the pleasure of seeing one of these beautiful birds a little closer than they normally let you. Most times I only see the rear of them leaving while laughing at me.

This is a really green photo.
This I found in one of my folder. This photo i took soon after i got my camera. I was in Portugal as an AFS student and I stayed with a family that had a big grape farm, there were many pools and most of them were fool of these green seeds and every once in a while you could see a frog in there. This time i walked really slowly to the pool because I wanted to get a photo of one of the frogs, and I was really lucky because 2 seconds after i took the photo the frog was gone.
Some may call it luck, but i guess its just my talent :P

This fella was being harassed by a Pileated and took refuge in the tree top. A distant shot and a big crop. I know it has a twig in front of its bill, but I don't change things as I've seen them.....besides I would do a lousy job cloning the twig out :)
