Good Day. I am Hennie from Pretoria. I found this bug in the garden and do not know what it is.

It looks a bit like a stink bug, we used to get big ones when I lived in the US but I'm not sure you get them in SA.....

Holopterna alata (according to my antiquated paper resources base) or Elasmopoda alata when I went chasing after possible variants online. Either way, finding it in Pretoria would seem to be a bit of a "find". One would expect it more on the SA Eastern Coastal zone and the lowveld.

Hi all, I'm new to this. I have a bug that i would like to ask if you know what it is. don't know how to start a new forum
Perhaps just post a picture of it here??
(Starting a whole new forum for a bug seems a bit extreme at this point).
