Mr.Green displays another salient feature - Nezara viridula
San Pedro, Los Angeles County, California, USA
October 6, 2011
Size: 6mm apx
I thought I would include a detail that shows the rounded spine between the base of the hind legs that projects forward toward the head. Adult green stink bugs have a pointed spine there. (from consulting the Arkansas ID guide listed on the Info page)
