Small green stink bug (likely nymph)

Vegetation, gardens, woodland edges, and occasionally homes or containers after wandering indoors.

Nymphs and adults use piercing-sucking mouthparts to feed mainly on plant sap, seeds, fruits, or developing leaves; some species prey on other insects.

Nymphs develop through several molts and often cluster on host plants. When disturbed, stink bugs may release a pungent defensive odor and may fly or drop away.

Usually harmless to people, though plant-feeding species can damage crops and ornamental plants. Predatory relatives help suppress caterpillars and other insects; the pictured individual cannot be identified to species confidently from this image.
