What Beetle? I looked through the Leaf Beetles and several other catetories but I could not find it. Such a pretty thing! It crawled out of a container of caterpillars I was raising on Huisache. Two of them crawled out. The other one was black/brown where this one is green. Different sezes?

Not a beetle; Hemipteran nymph. Possibly Pentatomidae?

Many thanks for the quick reply. I am embarressed that I did not notice the lack of wings! Looks pretty close to and that species also shows a black/brown one. There was also one in the unidentified nymphs that looked close.
