This handsome little green stink bug, with its characteristic red stripe across the top of the scutellum and another red stripe down the snout, is the neotropical red-shouldered stink bug (or red-shouldered stink bug), Thyanta perditor.

It’s another Wikipedia stub syndrome victim, alas; it lives in North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean and other than that apparently we don’t want to know. Like most stink bugs, it exudes a terrible stinky substance if bothered, and has a long proboscis tucked under its abdomen which it uses to suck juices from plants.

Not yet confirmed on iNaturalist as of this writing, but I’m pretty certain about this one.
