I thought this was a lady bug when I first saw it, but a bit of research revealed that it’s actually a black stink bug (Coptosoma xanthogramma). Black stink bugs were first found in Hawaii in 1965 on Oahu and can be problematic for some legumes and vines here.

I love your photos by the way!

Thanks for the kind words. I like the stink bugs too and I haven’t noticed anything too malodorous about them yet!
