Could someone help me identify this insect? My grandfather went on holiday to Malaysia and found this interesting beetle it looks like and has been trying to find out what it is, he placed it in resin to preserve it and I was hoping someone might have the answer to what it could be. The beetle itself is about two inches long and is mostly a vibrant yellow. and sorry the picture is so blurry insect from Malaysia

    $\begingroup$ I don't know the species, but it's from the superfamily Pentatomoidea, probably family Pentatomidae. $\endgroup$
