Unfortunately, this is all I have.
Didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Thought it was a dark Lygus bug which are difficult to get beyond genus, so just took one shot. Didn't realise it was a stink bug until I enlarged it tonight....Best I can do is e-mail you a higher resolution copy of this photo.
Zicrona sounds like a possibility, though. Just checked the BC Hemiptera list. There's only one Zicrona on it - Z. caerulea. Photos of that seem to be more of a metallic blue. But the list may not be up to date either.
