was hiking up Victoria Peak in Hong Kong when I came across this very interesting and friendly bug. It kept crawling towards my camera, and paused long enough in front of a leaf for me to take this photo..

Hi Ji Yoon,
We are not well versed in the exotic, and Hong Kong is exotic for us in Southern California, but this is some type of Shield Bug, a True Bug. Beautiful insect though.
