This should be the last/5th instar nymph of Erthesina acuminata. Please refer to this explanation:

P.S. I have created the species, so you may "identify" your image as Erthesina acuminata now and earn yourself some more bonus points or whatever ;o) Posted 8 years ago, modified 8 years ago

Okay, as there was no action taken, I've now "identified" it (in JD context) for you :o) Cheers, Arp Posted 8 years ago

The Erthesina acuminata

Erthesina acuminata Dallas, 1852 is one of the two currently recognized species of the genus Erthesina (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae, Halyini). The species have been described under various names and historically also some "Erthesina" have been described from Africa, but these are now considered to belong to different, be it closely related genera.
