I've just had 6 weeks OS so I'm really looking forward to getting out and about with the Tas bugs again.
I can only see two tarsal segments on this bug nymph, but I suspect I'm being duped and it is actually Pentatomidae?? It was on one of prolific, weedy grass infested beds we call "garden".
Now that I've made that call it is guaranteed to be wrong :-)
See this guy and it wasn't but bout a half inch long plus I didn't notice the pinchers a the back till I had them on the computer.

The Bug Smashers are used to eliminate any threats caused by the planets dangerous flora and were made to protect resource extraction machinery and workers like the Drill Walker. Thers 4 types of soldiers. The basic Soldier(silver helmet), The Machine Operator (white helmet) which operate exo suits and other vehicles, Jetpacker (turquoise helmet) which can fly and the Commander (gold helmet) which commands and leads squadrons. For drones and machinery there is the basic auto targeting turret, The cargo carrying dog and the airborne drone. For vehicles there is the Exo suit that the Machine Operator is controlling. The Exo-suit and Dog were not originally made to be used against the bugs and were originally used to transport and help move cargo at the planets various facility's. The Exo-suit was upgraded to withstand its quad-canons recoil and to withstand the fall it endures when being dropped from a dropship. The Exo-suit can hold onto more cargo and guns on its back thanks to the various bar attachments. Usually the suit is equipped with a quad canon and a backup shotgun to deal with the bug threat. The Bug Smashers were inspired by the game helldivers and their bug like enemy's.
Something a little different: Black corsair assassin bug (Melanolestes picipes) Dick Nichols Park, Austin, 3/22/19. 12-20 mm long. Feeds on other insects, can inflict a painful bite if handled, but does not transmit disease with its bite (unlike some other true bugs.)
And this is not only a visualization bug, no, this error is rendered in the image!
System:
-- Adobe Photoshop CC, newest update
-- Geforce, GTX 750 Ti, newest drivers
-- 16 Gig RAM, Intel i5, 3,2 GHz, Win 7 64 Bit
That Graphics card is (was, for one year) normally the perfect Photoshop workhorse and now this ....
The errors are gone, the moment I switch-off GPU acceleration, but who wants that ..?!

I do not know the name of this insect but it belongs to the true bug family. Photographed at the NAPWC. December 12, 2009.
it's a bug, and it might be a shieldbug, but it isn't adult. Don't know whether this is identifiable.
Edit: Thanks to Jonathan Michaelson for the ID suggestion, which looks spot on.
No idea of the insect ID, some sort of beetle I guess :)
Update 11th.July '07
I think I've narrowed these beetles down to either "Strangalia Melanura" or "Leptura Livida"
With regard to the 2 suggestions in the comments :
Japanese beetles have rounder shaped bodies. These ones were longer and narrower.
"Melolontha Melolontha" have noticeibly different antennae.

These keep coming, brood after brood. There are still adults and nymphs of all sizes sucking the milkweeds dry. A group of nymphs were moving around on non-milkweeds like this, too. They didn't seem to be finding what they were looking for. Impressive feeding tube tucked under the body.
