Palomena prasina (L.) Insecta, Heteroptera, Pentatomidae. Green bug of wood
Description. The adult measures 12 to 14 mm, its tegument green, smooth, is marked many small black spots in hollow, the margin of the pronotum is yellow-reddish. The antennas consist of 5 articles, 2nd and 3rd have the same length, 4th and 5th are reddish. The eggs green, are laid grouped. The larvae are green (here on the picture, it’s a larvae stage 3). The openings of odoriferous glands (odor of bug) laterally open with the ventral face metathorax close to the base of the posterior legs.
Biology - Very common, polyphagous, one finds it in particular on Pommier and Pear tree, when the orchards are located near woodlands, like on wild and cultivated herbaceous plants. - the embryonic evolution lasts 15 to 21 days, the larval growth passes by 5 stages and lasts 5 to 6 weeks.
Iso 200. In my garden.

I think this bug is called a Green Shield Bug or green stink bug. They smell indeed a bit funny.. I just love the shot you have made! The combination with green and yellow.. Well done!!

Elle super cette punaise postée sur son pétale jaune ! Ses deux yeux rouges me font penser à des dioides lumineuses ;-) Compliments et merci Didier.

Quelle belle «prise» vous avez là, Didier. Je viens tout juste de m'acheter«La Grande encyclopédie des insectes» de Gründ. Et ce qui habille ce livre est une magnifique punaise.
Votre macro est d'une belle précision, beaux détails, couleurs magnifiques.
J'aime beaucoup votre présentation tant visuelle qu'annotée. Félicitations.
