I believe this to be one of the Euschistus species, but which one? - Euschistus

Seven Springs, Wayne County, North Carolina, USA
May 9, 2013

I came across this shield type bug whilst walking the dog. I read, on here, that these are called "stink bugs" but I know them as "shield bugs". It was clinging to the top of a stalk of an allium type of grass.

thinking, E. servus

ventral always helps, often critical; "shield bug" is a Britishism, like "hawk moth," "lorry," and what have you ))))))

Ventral view was not possible

Thanks for your input, I believe that you are right.
http://bugguide.net/node/view/699274 shows what I think is an identical individual.

Ventral view was not possible this morning I am sorry to say but maybe next time. Sorry about my English, I was brought up that way and my accent and spelling remains....... English. ;o)

Thanks again, you have been very helpful.

i learned my first rudiments of English around the age of 17

any accent, spelling, or vocabulary is every bit as fine with me as the next one, be it on either side of the pond, or down under.
i give my wife hard time making her watch Rebus, Taggart, and stuff like that just to familiarize with the music; sometimes we turn the captions on. (we've run out of good English English police drama per se)
