What might this one be? Looks familiar.
Shoulder Pads
It's a leaf-footed bug (family Coreidae). Many species in this family have their hind tibiae expanded to some degree, hence the name. See https://www.flickr.com/photos/140413390@N06/28318509857 for an extreme example. Some also have their hind femora swollen as well. And then there are those like your specimen and the squash bug here in North America with very 'normal' appearing legs. And like their cousins, stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae, they have scent glands on their abdomen that may give off an unpleasant odor.
My goodness that is an extreme example. Great. Thank you very much.
