Nezara viridula

This southern green shield bug (Nezara viridula, Grüne Reiswanze) is a new creature in our garden. It has this colour during the fourth instar. Later it will be green (adult) or brown during the winter periode. 
It is invasive. "It is regularly introduced to other parts of Europe through the transport of agricultural crops. Due to the increasingly favorable climatic conditions in Europe, it is about to expand its distribution area further north."(*Wikipedia)
For example in south west Germany it is since 2010 to find. It causes a lot of damage. 
Another problem caused from climate change :-(
