Metallic Blue Stink Bug - Zicrona americana
In Westwood - elevation 5100ft, Lassen County, California, USA

Size: Body Length 7mm
This was a mover, and thus difficult to photograph without using the flash, which resulted in rather black images, as in this photo. The dorsal photo was the only decent 'still' shot that I was able to get of this brilliant blue Bug.
