I took the top photo for Becky’s Squares, but never got round to posting it. I love the leaves and was pleased to spot a stink bug on one of them. Yes, it’s visible in the photo, but here’s a closer look below.
Update: Karen at https://over50travel.blog/ has identified the bug as Coleotichus blackburniae, otherwise known as the Koa bug or the Koa shield bug. It’s a Hawaii endemic and the first I’ve seen.

They have interesting leaves. Mine don’t seem to be that open. Great looking colours on the Stink Bug

They’re big and bold, which I like. I liked the bug too but getting an ID is being harder than I thought it would be.

Lots of things are difficult to ID especially insects. The world has lots of different insects

Well, thanks for that, Karen. If I’d realized it was endemic, I’d have used that photo in a separate post. My online sites aren’t good with Hawaii endemics. There’s a local group that is very good and would likely have known, but I hadn’t contacted them yet.

Love that kind of leaf, but I’m happy for you to keep the bug, Graham.

I love those leaves as well, and I like the bug too even if its name isn’t the best!
