Graphosoma semipunctatum(Fabricius, 1775)
Family: Pentatomidae

The Half-spotted Stink Bug is very closely related to the Italian Stink Bug (Graphosoma italicum), the main difference being that the stripes on the pronotum are broken into dots and the legs are orange instead of black. Of course, another obvious difference is that the Half-spotted Stink Bug is orange, whereas the Italian Stink Bug is reddish.
It is a very widespread species in southern Europe. (Nature Pelion)

Photo taken on Ikaria island.
