Stink Bugs and Shield BugsBug Identity
Would you be able to identify this bug? I live in north Florida and took this picture April 20th. It chased my camera and watched every move I made. Thank you for your time.

Hi Jan,
We are certain that this is an immature Stink Bug, but we are not certain of its exact classification. We believe it is a predatory Stink Bug in the genus Podisus, the Spined Soldier Bugs, but we cannot find an exact match on BugGuide. There are similar looking nymphs, but nothing definite. Maybe one of our readers can supply the exact identification, allowing us more time to post backlogged submissions.

Looks to me like it might be a nymph in Apoecilus. http://bugguide.net/node/view/333311
