Hi, Roybird. It looks like a stink bug.

I thought "stink bug" but then I thought of the beetles we usually call stink bugs here and they look different. Kwanjin, do you know if there is more than one kind of stink bug? Edited to say, I looked it up. There are many kinds of stink bug. But this one looks like Brochymena Sulcata. But, I would like that confirmed.

There are more. I had one IDed and Suuntu was very helpful.

It could be a shield bug.

Oh, boy! Do I need a nap! LOL BugFiles would be more appropriate.
