Widebody, Pt. 2 - _TNY_5178
This shield bug is a Carpocoris fuscispinus. It lacks a vernacular English name, but the Swedish one basically translates into "wide shield bug". This angle also shows the opening where theses, like other shield bugs, emit the foul-smelling liquid used for defence - and the reason they are known as "stink bugs" in North America (and "berry farts" in Swedish).
