Nezara viridula (southern green stink bug) | Pergamino, Pcia. Buenos Aires, Argentina

I encountered this adult Nezara viridula (southern green stink bug) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in a soybean field in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.  I liked the way it balanced itself on the leaf on which it was sitting to keep its body level.
