Halyomorpha halys - Female

Female H. halys found on indoors on the wall of a 12th floor apartment (put it on some bark for a nicer background)
Same 12th floor apartment as last year:

Halyomorpha halys Being a very recent arrival in the Netherlands this was one of the first twenty or so registered observations, but expansion is swift with ample evidence of procreation in the Netherlands too, especially this last summer (2019).<br /> I was somewhat (pleasantly) surprised to find this one in a hollow wall that I took down while doing some construction work - already seeking out a spot to hide for winter in august?<br /> Image used for article on Vroege Vogels website:<br /> https://www.bnnvara.nl/vroegevogels/artikelen/help-mee-met-zoeken-naar-schadelijke-schildwants Brown marmorated stink bug,Cappaeini,Geotagged,Halyomorpha,Halyomorpha halys,Netherlands,Pentatomidae,Pentatominae,Pentatomoidea,invasive species,nl: Bruingemarmerde schildwants

Somewhat surprising to me that these try to find their winter quarters so high up.
This time I took a quick "upskirt" image to detemine the sex ... it's a girl!
