  1. Fantastic color :) Posted 7 years ago
    1. Thank you, for some reason this one had quite a deep green. I didn't bump any contrast or vibrance. By comparison the purple is quite faint. Posted 7 years ago
      1. I love finding extra vibrant individuals :) Posted 7 years ago

The green shield bug is a shield bug of the family Pentatomidae. It may also be referred to as a green stink bug, particularly outside of Britain, although the name green stink bug more appropriately belongs to the larger North American stink bug, ''Acrosternum hilare''.
