It think this is Pentatoma rufipes. The nymphs of several species are quite similar. It stayed on this leaf, mostly keeping still and occasionally changing its orientation.

Olympus EM-1 (aperture priority), Olympus 4/3 x2 TC, Olympus 4/3 50mm f2 macro, f11, hand-held.

The stereos are crosseye.

Nice find and shots Harold. I reckon it should be called the Tutankhamun shield bug.

Thanks, Brian.

The colours didn't show up to the naked eye so I was surprised by them.

I have found the species here as adults.
