Just been clearing out/organizing some pics on my phone and came across this that I took last year. I was on a course and it appeared on the table and had never seen one before so wondered what it was?

Does anybody know, just curious what it is, looks like a green cockroach to me?

They are called shield bugs or stink bugs ( Pentatomoidea) they can spray a smelly substance as a defence mechanism. Quite harmless though.
