Found this bug in with the Japanese beetles eating one of my butterfly bushes. It is a bit bigger that a JB but has the funny circle on its back.

Any info would be appreciated.
thanks,
Joy

This is not a beetle, but a nymph of a stink bug (Hemiptera/Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), likely that of a green stink bug, Acrosternum hilare - see http://tinyurl.com/26ppjk9
