    Nice! Genus Catacanthus would be my guess. Posted 5 years ago

      Sure that would be fine. It actually landed on my hand, otherwise I wouldn't take the picture that way. Posted 5 years ago

    Howdy, after you uploaded this one I had put it in my "to do" list en of course hadn't gotten around to it. More info and ID (with the help of Pentatomidae expert David Rider) under this image:
    Hyrmine sexpunctata - Happy Little Stinker I’m not convinced this is what I have but I think it’s a Catacanthus incarnatus. Aiyura Valley, Papua New Guinea. <br /> <br /> Arp says: No it's not. See for updates in comments below!<br /> New images of same species (presumably/probably):<br /> <br /> Variant with red streaks:<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/91584/stinker_with_red.html<br /> Late instar nymph:<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/91582/hyrmine_sexpunctata_-_nymph.html Heteroptera,Hyrmine,Hyrmine sexpunctata,Pentatomidae,Pentatominae,Pentatomini
