Found this guy on a blade of one of my ornamental grasses. Interesting how different they look as a youngster from the adult.

Canon Rebel T1i. 180mm macro lens. F/4 for 1/250 sec. ISO 400. Tripod mounted, natural lighting.

These are so very small..I agree, amazing how different they look especially with respect to coloration.
Great top view showing off those colorful markings, like the diagonal comp too Carolyn:toast:

Nice capture. I've seen a few of these around this summer and couldn't figure out what they were. Now I know.

Coincidently, I had a conversation with someone on Saturday who told me his house is overrun with stink bugs. :eek: I told him I never saw or heard of them, so I appreciate this timely and excellent close up view of this stink bug, Carolyn. I like the colorful bg with the diagonal lines.
