Better photo

I would like to upload an adjusted copy of this photo where the white balance is correct. Will that present any problems with the attached comments?

Thyanta custator spinosa

I believe this could be T. custator spinosa, not accerra.

Not Podi*sus

my guess would be Thyanta sp..
Many show the pale, somewhat granular spotting of the elytra, and dark mottling of the wing membrane.

Yes

Yes, family Pentatomidae (Stink Bugs), probably Podisus maculiventris (Spined Soldier Bug).

Green/brown

Mine is green, why are most of the images on google show it to be brown/tan?

Color

Buggz-

Good question. Among the possibilities (listed in order of their declining likelihood) would be: your specimen is a teneral which had not yet achieved its ultimate coloration; the coloration is a result of local variation; the coloration is due to it being a closely related species, but not the one specified.
