Green shield bug with brown wingtips and body. Just before winter, it becomes completely brown then turns green again after hibernation. 

When threatened it excretes a smelly substance.  Both the ♀ and ♂ make a noise to find each other. The young nymphs have 5 growing stadia and each stadium becomes more green and adult like.

⇔ l. 12-24 mm

LA:
≈ The NEZARA VIRIDULA (Southern green stink bug) has three little dots on its back.
≈ Very similar to the PALOMENA VIRIDISIMA which has a wider neck shield (no photo).
