Wow another beautiful member of your insect population ! Fantastic photo of his still position, looks like he is trying to hide. Zoom is a must indeed to see the awesome details.

That's as sexy as shield bugs get! The striped "petticoat" sticking out from under the shield is really snazzy! New to me completely! Excellent find and capture!

This shield bug looks like it was customized. I like the stripes around the edges and the gold colored centerpiece. A superb capture.

Excellent macro! Agree with above comments that the "striped petticoat" is way cool, along with that central yellow spot!

We have them over here and when stepped on have a rancid odor - thus 'stink bugs'!

Awesome capture and I agree with danapommet, these look like what we have over here in TX and Memphis, called the stink bug...awful smelling when crushed!
