Australian Hemiptera: Lyramorpha rosea. The Lychee Stink Bug

I found this in the collar of my shirt. Its body is only about 15mm (½”) long. It wouldn’t stay still for the photo though.

A great shot of this insect-never seen or heard of such a bug before!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

You did a good job with the focusing on such a fidgety subject!

[Uccellino Grigio]

Interesting, we have stink bugs here too - but they aren't as colorful. We call them Japanese stink bugs, but their actual name is Brown marmorated stink bug

[Nina Ganci]

very interesting goga (bug) though finding it on my clothing, I am not too sure. He sure is colourful and must have been scared of you and the camera
