This insect was in our garden perched on a blade of wild scallion. A Rough Stink Bug
(Brochymena) is beneficial to the garden...eating aphids and catepillars. Thanks to
"Mr & Mrs Apteryx australis" for the ID!!
I'm not certain on the species ID. Any correction or confirmation would be appreciated.
Taken in my yard in Central Florida.

No se si es una Nezara viridula o una Edessa meditabunda, agradezco cualquier ayuda.
I'm not sure if it's a Nezara viridula or an Edessa meditabunda, I'd appreciate any help.

Stinker on a Pea Pod. This is a shield bug or stink bug nymph. She tried to drip white stinker stuff on me while I was taking her photo. I call her she because the face on the shield looks female and is probably seductive to other stink bugs.

As Precious As Rubies (Lateral View) -
A heroine in mid-July, I was so near I could suck her in with a deep breath but she would not forsake her babies and allow harm to come their way. Cuddling tightly under the safety of mama's belly, the newly-hatched juveniles were glossy red and very likeable. I think some eggs from this cluster had been parasitized because I saw two braconid wasps emerging from the translucent capsules. Seem likely the wasp laid their eggs inside the eggs of this shield bug, the wasp larvae consumes and pupate within the husk of the dead host.

Red-legged Shieldbug [Pentatoma rufipes]
(aka. Forest Shieldbug)
HEMIPTERA; HETEROPTERA (True Bugs);
Pentatomidae (Shieldbugs); Pentatominae
____________________________________________________
The family name 'Pentatomidae' is from the Greek pente meaning "five" and tomos meaning "section", and refers to the five segments of the antenna. Members of the family - the Pentatomids - are generally called Shieldbugs, although in North America they prefer Stinkbug. Just to confuse matters, Shieldbug is the name given to many of the species within Pentatomidae and a three other related families. Shieldbug is a more fitting name as it relates to the body shape of adult bugs in these families - viewed from above they resemble a small heraldic shield. The American name Stinkbug is specific to the Pentatomids and refers to their ability to release a pungent defensive spray when threatened.
I'm always on the lookout for stink bugs these days! I want to find as many as possible. :D I've seen this one before though, but it's still a beautiful little bug!

Scientific name : Scutelleridae
Family : Scutelleridae; Leach, 1815
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scutelleridae is a family of true bugs. They are commonly known as jewel bugs or metallic shield bugs due to their often brilliant coloration.
They are also known as shield-backed bugs due to the enlargement of the thoracic scutellum into a continuous shield over the abdomen and wings.

Pygoplatys validus
A Pygoplatys sp shield bug...nice and colorful. Found many of them in Danum Valley. Merged from two exposures in CS3.

Just happened to see this stink bug in the process of molting. After it emerged from the shell, it slowly made a circle back around to face the exoskeleton it had just shed, stuck its head in and flipped the empty shell off the post. It remained in the same location for the rest of the day. By nightfall it had changed colors becoming much darker.
