True BugsMetallic green bug
Hi folks,
Found this bug near a mango tree, and thought it was a beetle. Some gentleman on Flickr pointed out that this is not a beetle, but a true bug (Hemipteran). Going through your site reinforced that view. Could you tell which Hemipteran is this ? Its a very informative site on bugs, something I was really missing..great job folks !
