As you all know that almost all insect undergo a metamorphosis, and some of them might look completely different from one stage to the other. The most prominent examples are butterfly and moth, and how they changed shape so many times during their life cycle.
Sometimes that is the reason also it is a little bit hard to identify insects that we find in their younger lifecycles, not the ones that are very familiar to us, which is the adult stage of the insect, because we can clearly see them flying around, and usually with beautiful colors.
And just like this nymph that I found hiding on the green bush branches. The color of the nymph almost made me miss it, because it blends quite nicely with the color of the branch and the leaves its resting on.
I could not find the exact name of the species from this nymph, but most likely it might be the nymph of Plautia fimbriata or Brown-winged Green Shield Bug.
It is because of the two dots that it has on its abdomen fit nicely with the one on my reference page. I had photographed the adult one before around the place where I found this nymph, so the chance is quite big that it is the right identification.
I love the pattern of this bug, it has a black and dark green color, with long segmented antennae. it is interesting how it looks completely different on its adult phase because most of its body will be bright green, with a little bit of brown on the tip of its wings.
