aka a 'Stink Bug'
I mostly see green ones in my garden, BUT this is the first one of this type that I have seen.
According to my RSPB 'Wildlife' book, it is deffo a Shield/Stink bug, and it looks most like a PENTATOMA RUFIES, the 'Forest Bug', but it might be something else?
Update - Confirmed as a 'Forest Bug' on 'SEEK' - my new app on my phone, except that the Latin name is given as Pentatoma RUFIPES, which is slightly different to the RSPB book. However, I will be happy with 'Shield Bug'!!!
One of many now trying to get into the house!
PennState Dept. of Entomology says that this type of Stink Bug was accidentally introduced into the United States. It is native to China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
They mainly feed on fruits and vegetables.
They are called a "Stink Bug" because of the foul odor they produce in self defense or when squashed.

I had posted a cropped version of this image some time ago, but was working on it for the "Bugs of the Eno River" calendar and decided I liked the less cropped version better.

Erthesina fullo:Because the stinkbug will secrete the special smell to drive away the natural enemy, there is call of ' the bedbug ', though call is not very pleasant, their life is quite interesting! Take macula lutea stinkbug as an example, the female stinkbug often gives birth to 12 ovums, the little stinkbug that just hatched out once, still assemble together.

Look closely at the stinkbugs in your house...there is a great deal of beauty there. Halyomorpha halys
Pentatomoidea is a superfamily of insects in the Heteroptera suborder of the Hemiptera order, which are commonly referred to as shield bugs or stink bugs. Shield bugs have glands in their thorax between the first and second pair of legs which produce a foul smelling liquid. This liquid is used defensively to deter potential predators and is sometimes released when the bugs are handled carelessly. The distinctive smell comes from aldehydes such as CH3–(CH2)2–CH=CH–CHO.

Went out on a hunt for butterflies, came across this little chap who took offence to the paparazzi and disappeared almost immediately into the long grass.

Here is another photo of the beautiful "stink bug" that I show in my [Previous] photo - without the raindrops. I believe it is species Banasa dimidiata in the family Pentatomidae of the Heteroptera, Hemiptera. I got this photo in the afternoon when I got back from my walk today. The bug is on the same new leaflet of native Wild Sweetpea (Lathyrus vestitus, Fabaceae) where it was in the morning, though it has come out from under it. These bugs look almost too pretty to be native, but apparently they are. I've seen one before, see this photo from December 2015. (San Marcos Pass, 4 February 2019)
Rain, rain, rain! We've had another two inches of rain since yesterday at this time, bringing our total for the water-year up to 31.55 inches - getting close to our 33.85 inch average total for the year. Now it's turning cold, and we had some hail a short time ago. Showers are expected to continue through Wednesday morning, and now we're under a NWS Winter Weather Advisory with a chance of snow tomorrow evening. Hah, I'll believe it when I see it.
Ben's homemade costume scored big this Halloween in our neighborhood, which was innundated by stink bugs earlier this summer.
He learned an important lesson tonight: Creativity translates to handfuls of extra candy. They have unknowingly created a monster.
