Whatzit? It has the Harlequin Bug palette, but lacks its design sense. -

You're welcome -
If you see any more, probably not before late winter or spring (?), please put some specimens in a vial for me.

Will do.
But might not be out much then, as I'm having the other knee replaced about that time.

More like a collection of parts. New lens will be installed in right eye tomorrow, left in a couple of weeks.

Moved
to genus
Bagrada
. Hopefully we can get a species ID some time soon.
Please see also the
INFO
page.
By the way, the Harlequin Bug (
Murgantia histrionica
) is classified in the same tribe:
Strachiini
Stål.
Update on the
Bagrada
: adult specimens being sent to Dr. Rosser Garrison (CDFA) who promised to examine them after returning from Argentina. Hopefully, there'll be an update soon.

Ron, I'm on the way to an ID for these -
To begin with they're in the genus
Bagrada
Stål, possibly
B. hilaris
. But there are a couple of other species names I have to check out first.
This is definitely a non-native bug, & at least potentially an invasive species!
They seem to like plants in the Mustard family (i.e. cabbage in Africa), but are polyphagus & use a number of other plants as hosts. I've written a page, but its still in progress, & will let you know when moveable.

Intriguing, Hartmut.
Thanks for the update, and I look forward to learning more.

Hello Ron, these are in Pentatomidae -
Smaller than Harlequin, aside from pattern differences. I've seen a whole bunch of them at Eaton Canyon, and might submit a photo. I don't know any more at this point.

Thanks, Hartmut.
You've got these pegged. Yes, they are smaller. First I've seen. Thanks for the direction.
