Shield bug - Banasa dimidiata
Monrovia, Los Angeles County, California, USA
September 28, 2008
Size: 1/2 inch
This bug was found on a lemon mint plant. I think it belongs to the piedozorus class, but I'd like to be sure. And also if someone could identify the species...

check Banasa dimiata [not sure though]
there's no such thing as 'piedozorus class,' all the insects are in the same class; i guess you meant 'P i e z o d o r u s, which is a genus in the stink bug family (Pentatomidae), but yours is a diff. member of that family.

Stink bug
I apologize for my ignorant mistakes. Shame on me!
So if this bug is not a piezodorus, do you know what it is?

Thank you for your comment
