It's a bug

Trust me, I'm a doctor.... of physics so not much help here, I'm afraid.

HaHa, beat you to it Ralph !

I think I've identified the subspecies also. It's a Green Bug

Well as I live in Alhaurin El Grande and have a very large garden with many fruit trees and many plants these are one of the insects that I spend a lot of money on to eliminate, I have no idea what it is called but the less I see them the better.
