Leptocorisa acuta) is an insect that is an important pest in cultivated crops, especially rice. In Indonesia, these insects are called: kungkang (Sundanese), pianggang (Sumatra), and calm (Madura). [1] This animal is easily recognized by its elongated shape, measuring about 2 cm, gray-brown, and has a "trunk" (proboscis) to suck plant fluids. Walang sangit is a member of the Hemiptera order (true ladybugs). Walang stinks suck plant fluids from flower stalks (paniculae) and also rice fruit juices which are still in the mature stage of milk, causing the plants to become nutrient deficient and yellow (chlorosis), and slowly weaken. The name of this animal indicates a form of self-defense, which is to give off an offensive scent (hence the name "sangit"). Actually, not only stink bugs give off this scent, but also many other Alydidae members. wikipedia

I found this insect in the flower garden of my sister's collection in front of the house to be precise on the side of the road while trying some macro lens tips on the Vivo 1807 smartphone, while the target was all types of insects that I encountered.
