Banasa dimidiata, the green burgundy stink bug, is a species of stink bug. It is found in Canada and the United States. Banasa dimidiata has a distinctive shield-shaped body, characteristic of the stink bug family (Pentatomidae). Its adult size ranges 8.5 mm to 11.0 mm. Its primary color is a vibrant green which helps it blend in with foliage, while the lower portions of its wings and the rear of its body exhibit a burgundy-brown hue. The transition between the green and burgundy sections is often smooth but can appear slightly iridescent. Its legs are a matching green. The antennae are long end in a reddish-brown color. Its eyes are small, round and dark, positioned on the sides of its head. The texture of its exoskeleton is smooth with a slight sheen, making it appear somewhat glossy in well-lit conditions.
The range extends trans-continentally from British Columbia to Nova Scotia in Canada, down through the United States from California to Texas to Florida, and into Mexico. It is mostly observed from April to October, with the largest amount observed during June and July.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green Burgundy Stink Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Montreal (70 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
