Hi there. I found this bug on a bougainvilla bush in the bushveld of South Africa, just north of the Soutpansberg mountains.
Someone told me its a Maya Stinkbug but I can’t find any info on that name…
Please help me identify this little beauty!

Dear Marco,
Just last week we posted another image of this pretty Shield Bug submitted from Tanzania, Sphaerocoris annulus, and we learned it is commonly called a Picasso Bug.
